Skewed Multifractal Cross-Correlations Between Green Bond Index and Energy Futures Markets: A New Perspective Based on Change Point
This study is the first to use the Bayesian Estimator of Abrupt Change, Seasonality, and Trend (BEAST) algorithm to detect trend change points in the nexuses between the green bond index (Green Bond) and WTI of crude oil, gasoline, as well as natural gas futures. The COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia...

| description | This study is the first to use the Bayesian Estimator of Abrupt Change, Seasonality, and Trend (BEAST) algorithm to detect trend change points in the nexuses between the green bond index (Green Bond) and WTI of crude oil, gasoline, as well as natural gas futures. The COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia–Ukraine war are identified as common significant trend change points, and the total sample is subsequently divided into three stages based on these points. Utilizing a skewed MF-DCCA method, this study analyzed the skewed multifractal characteristics between the Green Bond and the energy futures across these stages. The results revealed that both the multifractal characteristics and risk levels experienced significant changes across different periods, exhibiting skewed multifractality. Specifically, from the pre-pandemic period to the post-Russia–Ukraine conflict period, the multifractal features and risk of the Green Bond and WTI and Green Bond and Gasoline groups first declined and then increased, while the Green Bond and Natural Gas group displayed an opposite trend, showing an initial increase followed by a decline. A portfolio analysis further indicated that Green Bond provided effective hedging against all three types of energy futures, particularly during crisis periods. Notably, the portfolios constructed using the Mean-MF-DCCA model, which incorporated multifractal features, outperformed those constructed by traditional portfolio models. These findings offered new insights into the dynamic characteristics of the Green Bond and energy futures markets and provided important policy implications for portfolio optimization and risk management strategies. |
