Geopolitical, economic risk and the time-varying structure of extreme risk in the carbon emissions trading market by Junlong Mi, Junlong Mi, Xing Yang, Xing Yang, Xing Yang, Feifei Huang, Yufa Xu

“…The relevant results are threefold. (1) Significant extreme risk spillover effects exist between the carbon market and the stock, commodity, exchange rate, and interest rate markets, influenced by economic risks and geopolitical risks. (2) In the average extreme risk structure of the carbon market, aside from itself, geopolitical risks contribute the most, followed by the stock and commodity markets, while the contributions of the exchange rate and interest rate are relatively small, with economic risks exerting a slow and steadily increasing influence on extreme risks in the carbon market over the forecast period. (3) The extreme risk structure of the carbon market exhibits significant time-varying characteristics, with contributions from related extreme market risks, geopolitical risks, and economic risks showing significant variations during important periods such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia–Ukraine war. …”
