Financial markets are closely connected, with credit and market risks dynamically influencing each other, particularly during extreme events. While their interdependence is well-documented in the literature, the direction and intensity of information flow remain uncertain. Using transfer entropy on European credit and stock volatility indices, we quantify this flow and its dynamics during the most recent extrem...
Understanding energy consumption associated with cryptocurrency mining gained increasing attention, with the literature focusing mainly on Bitcoin. This study uses data from the two energy consumption indices, to estimate static and dynamic transfer entropies. The results provide a nuanced understanding of the bidirectional relationships and their implications. The dominant direction of information flow for Bit...
This study delves into the complexities of energy commodity futures and clean energy indexes, analyzing their responses to geopolitical risk. The detrended fluctuation analysis was applied, and the efficiency index was estimated to assess energy market behavior better. This approach allows the evaluation of long-range depen dence and market efficiency. The findings show evolving patterns influenced by significa...
This study evaluates the links between representative indices of companies with high environmental performance and the propensity of such indices to economic and financial shocks. Five indices, representing environmental segments and four global macroeconomic and financial variables, were analyzed over a thirteen-year period, which included various crisis moments, such as the sovereign debt crisis, the COVID-19...

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, considered by some authors a “black swan”, is one of these events. In this study, we assess integration ...
The energy markets have recently undergone important transformations (e.g. deregulation, technological progress, renewable energy deployment and changing energy consumer behaviour) and witnessed a variety of crisis periods, affecting the relationships among energy commodities and their interactions with clean energy indices. This has implications for price discovery, asset allocation and risk management, which ...
