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 is proposed by augmenting the Toda-Yamamoto method with a Fourier approximation. This approach is capable of capturing gradual or smooth shifts and does not require a prior knowledge regarding the number, dates, and form of structural breaks. The so-called Fourier Toda-Yamamoto causality (mean spillover) test finds uni-directional causality running from oil prices to all REITs, except for the mortgage REITs. In the latter case, the causality is reversed. In addition, the relatively new and simple causality-in-variance test shows that there is bi-directional volatility transmission between the oil market and all REITs. Our results have important implications for REIT managers and investors. (C) 2016 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Oil prices and financial stress: A volatility spillover analysis NAZLIOĞLU, ŞABAN; Soytaş, Uğur; Gupta, Rangan (2015-07-01) 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 cau...
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...
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...
Volatility Spillover from Oil to Food and Agricultural Raw Material Markets Kaltalıoğlu, Müge; Soytaş, Uğur (2011-05-01) The upward movement in oil and food prices in the 2000s has attracted interest in the information transmission mechanism between the two markets. This paper investigates the volatility spillover between oil, food consumption item, and agricultural raw material price indexes for the period January 1980 to April 2008.The results of the Cheung-Ng procedure show that variation in oil prices does not Granger cause the variance in food and agricultural raw material prices. Since there is no volatility spillover f...
Price and volatility linkages between international REITs and oil markets Nazlıoğlu, Şaban; Gupta, Rangan; Gormus, Alper; Soytaş, Uğur (Elsevier BV, 2020-05-01) This study analyzes price and volatility transmissions between nineteen real estate investment trusts (REITs) and the oil markets. The REITs data represents a variety of countries at different stages of their development and the expanded analytical approach includes accounting for structural shifts as gradual processes - as opposed to strictly abrupt processes typically assumed in the literature. Oil prices are found to primarily predict REITs prices in mature REITs markets, but the feedback from REITs to o...
