Climate Policy Uncertainty and Its Implications for Non-Renewable Energy
Multifractal relationship between decomposed oil price shocks and trading volume
The decomposition of oil price shocks is crucial for understanding the multifractal nature of price-volume dynamics in crude oil futures. Using the structural vector autoregression (SVAR), this study decomposes the crude oil futures prices into three types of oil price shocks, viz., supply shocks, demand shocks, and risk shocks. The heterogeneous effects of decomposed oil price shocks on the trading volume of the crude oil futures are uncovered b…
Enhancing Financial Well-Being
This study investigates the effectiveness of solution-focused financial therapy (SFFT) in improving financial well-being (FWB) among adults in India using an experimental design. A sample of 120 participants was randomly assigned to an intervention group (n = 60) and a control group (n = 60). The intervention group underwent a 6-week SFFT programme, whereas the control group received no intervention. FWB was measured pre- and post-intervention. R…
Does classification of green aid flows matter for environmental quality
Climate change imposes an existential threat on the globe and has already had sizeable economic costs to countries. Environmental aid flows aim to alleviate the rising concerns of climate change in the developing world. Even though the existing literature has examined the effectiveness of green aid flows for reducing carbon dioxide emissions in the recipient countries, no existing study has examined the effectiveness of different classifications …
Pandemic, sentiments over Covid-19, and EU convergence
This study examines the convergence/divergence of people's sentiments over Covid-19 in European economies and investigates the role of the support policies that were implemented by governments and central banks. The analysis focuses on 26 EU countries plus the UK, using changes in human mobility to essential places as a proxy for pessimistic/optimistic sentiments. Based on a panel-clustering methodology and multinomial logistic regressions, the r…
Does climate policy uncertainty affect tourism demand? Evidence from time-varying causality tests
This study examines whether climate policy uncertainty affects the propensity of people to travel. To do so, we employ the Climate Policy Uncertainty (CPU) index and US air-travel data to eight regional overseas destinations for the period 2000–2019. Using time-varying causality tests to deal with the structural breaks that exist in the relationship between CPU and US air travel, we find that CPU is a major determinant of air-travel demand to all…
Corruption and partisan polarization
Recent work documents that even though partisan polarization may have detrimental economic and social outcomes, polarized societies lead to better governance and less corruption. However, the effect of corruption on partisan polarization has been mostly ignored by the literature. By using various measures of partisan polarization and corruption, this paper demonstrates that corrupt behaviours are associated with more partisan polarization in the …
Does economic structure matter for income inequality
Does environmental policy stringency discourage inbound tourism in the G7 countries? Evidence from panel quantile regression
The influence of economic policy uncertainty and geopolitical risk on US citizens overseas air passenger travel by regional destination
This research note extends the literature on the role of economic policy uncertainty and geopolitical risk on US citizens overseas air travel through the examination of the forecast error variance decomposition of total overseas air travel and by regional destination. Our empirical findings indicate that across regional destinations, US economic policy uncertainty explains more of the forecast error variance of US overseas air travel, followed by…
US partisan conflict shocks and international stock market returns
Nonlinear responses of consumption to wealth, income, and interest rate shocks
A novel hybrid approach to forecast crude oil futures using intraday data
A new methodological perspective on the impact of energy consumption on economic growth
Fracking and Asset Prices
The impact of internet use on air pollution
Does convergence really matter for the environment? An application based on club convergence and on the ecological footprint concept for the EU countries
Regional unemployment and employee loyalty
This study investigates the relationship between unemployment and employee loyalty across UK regions. It is argued that higher regional unemployment depresses wages and increases the cost of a potential job loss, thus providing an incentive for employees to be loyal to their employer. Using data from the Work and Employment Relations Survey (WERS), the results confirm the positive association between regional unemployment and employee loyalty. A …
Convergence of Health Care Expenditures Across the US States
Explosive bubbles in the US–China exchange rate? Evidence from right-tailed unit root tests
In this article we apply novel right-tailed unit root (sup Augmented Dickey-Fuller (SADF) and generalized sup ADF) tests to the China–US exchange rate. The empirical results document that the recent financial crisis in 2008 may be preceded by early warning signs of exuberance. Using the SADF test, evidence of an explosive behavior in the nominal exchange is found from 2005 onwards. This period coincides with both financial reforms in China and ea…
