Dynamic Connectedness Among the Energy ETFs, Sustainability ETFs, and US Technology Sector Indices
This study examines the dynamic connectedness among energy ETFs, sustainability ETFs, and the USA technology sector indices using a quantile vector autoregression (QVAR) and time-varying parameter VAR (TVP-VAR) framework over the period October 2014 to November 2024. By incorporating quantile-based spillover analysis, we capture asymmetric transmission mechanisms across market regimes, while robustness checks using rolling windows, TVP-VAR, and s…
