This paper examines whether there is a volatility transmission between oil prices and financial stress by means of the volatility spillover test. We employ WTI crude oil prices and Cleveland financial stress index for the period 1991-2014 and divide the sample into pre-crisis, in-crisis, and post-crisis periods due to the downward trend in oil price in 2008. The volatility model estimations indicate that oil prices and financial stress index are dominated by long-run volatility. The volatility spillover causality test supports evidence on risk transfer from oil prices to financial stress before the crisis and from financial stress to oil prices after the crisis. The impulse response analysis shows that the volatility transmission pattern has similar dynamics before and after the crisis and is characterized by higher and long-lived effects during the crisis. Our results have implications for both policy makers and investors, and for future work.

Oil prices and real estate investment trusts (REITs): Gradual-shift causality and volatility transmission analysis NAZLIOĞLU, ŞABAN; Gormus, N. Alper; Soytaş, Uğur (2016-11-01) According to literature, oil price shocks and volatility can have sector-specific impacts in the market While these studies include most asset groups, the dynamic relationship between the oil market and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) has not been tested. This study examines the role of oil price shocks and volatility on six REIT categories: Residential, Hotel, Healthcare, Retail, Mortgage and Warehouse/Industrial REITs for the January 2005-December 2013 period. In addition, a new causality approach i...
Oil price, agricultural commodity prices, and the dollar: A panel cointegration and causality analysis NAZLIOĞLU, ŞABAN; Soytaş, Uğur (2012-07-01) This study examines the dynamic relationship between world oil prices and twenty four world agricultural commodity prices accounting for changes in the relative strength of US dollar in a panel setting. We employ panel cointegration and Granger causality methods for a panel of twenty four agricultural products based on monthly prices ranging from January 1980 to February 2010. The empirical results provide strong evidence on the impact of world oil price changes on agricultural commodity prices. Contrary to...
Do global risk perceptions influence world oil prices? Sarı, Ramazan; Soytaş, Uğur (2011-05-01) This paper investigates the information transmission mechanism between world oil, gold, silver, dollar/euro exchange rate markets, and volatility index (VIX) accommodating for global risk perceptions. We find that there is a unique long run equilibrium relationship, where gold, silver, exchange rate, and risk perceptions appear as long run forcing variables of world oil prices. We uncover that global risk perceptions have a significantly suppressing effect on oil prices in the long run. We also discover tha...
Oil Prices and Emerging Market Exchange Rates Turhan, Ibrahim; Hacıhasanoğlu, Erk; Soytaş, Uğur (Informa UK Limited, 2013-01-01) This paper investigates the role of oil prices in explaining the dynamics of selected emerging countries' exchange rates. Using daily data series, the study concludes that a rise in oil prices leads to significant appreciation of emerging economies' currencies against the U.S. dollar. The authors divide daily returns from January 3, 2003, to June 2, 2010, into three subsamples and test the impact of changes in oil prices on exchange rate movements, generalizing impulse response functions to track the dynami...
OIL PRICES AND BANKING STOCKS NEXUS: EVIDENCE FROM AN OILDEPENDENT COUNTRY Ordu Akkaya, Beyza Mina; Sarı, Ramazan (2019-01-01) While the relationship between oil prices and stock markets is of great interest to economists, previous studies do not differentiate oil-exporting countries from oil-importing countries when they investigate the effects of oil price shocks on stock market returns. In this paper, we address this limitation using a structural VAR analysis. Our main findings can be summarized as follows: First, the magnitude, duration, and even direction of response by stock market in a country to oil price shocks highly depe...
