  • the renewable energy consumption environmental degradation nexus in top 10 polluted countries fresh insights from quantile on quantile regression approach
    Renewable Energy, 2020
    Co-Authors: Arshian Sharif, Muhammad Shahbaz, Shekhar Mishra, Avik Sinha, Zhilun Jiao, Sahar Afshan
    Abstract:

    This examination explored the link between renewable energy utilization and environmental degradation in top-10 polluted countries by using monthly data from 1990 to 2017. The Quantile-on-Quantile regression (QQ) proposed by Sim and Zhou [1] and Granger causality in Quantiles developed by Troster [2] are applied. In particular, we examine in what manners, Quantiles of renewable energy consumption affect the Quantiles of environmental degradation. Our empirical findings unfold overall dependence between renewable energy consumption and ecological deterioration. The findings recommend the presence of a significant negative association between renewable energy consumption and environmental degradation in China, USA, Japan, Canada, Brazil, South Korea and Germany, predominantly in high and low tails but results are totally contrasting in the case of India, Russia and Indonesia. Furthermore, the outcomes of Granger-causality in Quantiles conclude a bidirectional causal link between renewable energy consumption and environmental degradation. The empirical findings suggest that governments should need to subsidize green energy in declining ecological degradation.

    Abstract:

    This empirical examination explored the link between renewable energy utilization and environmental degradation in top-10 polluted countries by using monthly data from 1990-2017. The Quantile-on-Quantile regression (QQ) proposed by Sim and Zhou (2015) and Granger causality in Quantiles developed by Troster (2018) are applied. In particular, we examine in what manners, Quantiles of renewable energy consumption affect the Quantiles of environmental degradation. Our empirical findings unfold overall dependence between renewable energy consumption and ecological deterioration. The findings recommend the presence of a significant negative association between renewable energy consumption and environmental degradation in China, USA, Japan, Canada, Brazil, South Korea and Germany, predominantly in high and low tails but results are totally contrasting in the case of India, Russia and Indonesia. Furthermore, the outcomes of Granger-causality in Quantiles conclude a bidirectional causal link between renewable energy consumption and environmental degradation.

  • does inflation cause gold market price changes evidence on the g7 countries from the tests of nonparametric quantile causality in mean and variance
    Applied Economics, 2018
    Co-Authors: Mehmet Balcilar, Muhammad Shahbaz, Zeynel Abidin Ozdemir, Serkan Gunes
    Abstract:

    This paper utilises the newly proposed nonparametric causality-in-Quantiles test to examine the predictability of mean and variance of changes in gold prices based on inflation for G7 countries. The causality-in-Quantiles approach permits us to test for not only causality in mean but also causality in variance. We start our investigation by utilising tests for nonlinearity. These tests identify nonlinearity, showing that the linear Granger causality tests are subject to misspecification error. Unlike tests of misspecified linear models, our nonparametric causality-in-Quantiles tests find causality in mean and variance from inflation to gold market price changes between the 0.20 quantile and the 0.70 quantile, implying that very low- and high- price changes in gold markets are not related to inflation. These changes should be related to other sources, such as financial shocks and exchange market shocks. We find support that gold serves as a hedge against inflation, but only in the mid-quantile ranges, i.e., Quantiles from 0.20 to 0.70. Our results show that gold does not serve as a hedge against inflation during periods when gold market price changes are very low or very high, which are respectively quiet and highly volatile periods.

  • distribution specific dependence and causality between industry level u s credit and stock markets
    Journal of International Financial Markets Institutions and Money, 2018
    Co-Authors: Syed Jawad Hussain Shahzad, Walid Mensi, Shawkat Hammoudeh, Mehmet Balcilar, Muhammad Shahbaz
    Abstract:

    This paper examines the dependence and causal nexuses between ten U.S. credit default swaps and their corresponding stock sectoral markets, using the Quantile-on-Quantile (QQ) approach and the nonparametric causality-in-Quantiles tests. The results, using the QQ approach, show asymmetric negative association between credit and markets for all industries and that the link depends on both the sign and size of the stock market shocks (i.e., bullish or bearish conditions in the CDS and/or stock markets). The sensitivity of CDS returns to stock markets shocks is higher in the extreme Quantiles. Using the nonparametric causality-in-quantile tests, we find evidence of causality-in-mean from stock to CDS only for the Financial (in average and upper Quantiles), Consumer Services and Oil & Gas sectors (only for the middle quantile i.e., 0.5). In addition, the causality-in-mean from the CDS to stock markets is only found for the Financial and Telecommunication sectors in the extreme lower Quantiles. Finally, we find a bidirectional Granger causality-in-variance for all the CDS-equity sector pairs.
