Price transmission and volatility spillovers among leading precious metals
Analyzing the Interconnectedness Within the Volatile Crypto Market
This study investigates return spillovers among the 15 most capitalized cryptocurrencies during the Russia-Ukraine war and the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were extracted from the Coin Market Cap database to ensure a comprehensive analysis of market behavior, covering a daily series from January 2020 to December 2023. The research employs three autoregressive techniques (TVP-VAR, LASSO VAR, and Ridge VAR) to verify the robustness of findings regarding…
Assessing the Determinants of Bank Interest Rate Spread
This study investigates the effect of macroeconomic and bank-specific factors on the bank interest rate spread (IRS) of six Western Balkan countries (referred to as WB6). We applied the Panel Vector Autoregression (Panel VAR) model to separately analyze the impact of these two sets of factors for 2005 to 2022 using two-panel datasets from 110 banks. The results from the two models show that the IRS is significantly influenced by GDP per capita an…

We investigate the risk-return tradeoffs of the most tradable cryptocurrencies based on portfolio diversification techniques. Three different crypto portfolios containing a …
Portfolio risk-return analysis
Risk has always been the concern of managers and shareholders as a part of decision-making processes. Managers tend to control unsystematic risk mostly while trying to minimize the exposure to systematic (market) risk. The paper aims to assess the risk level and risk-return tradeoffs for the companies operating in Czech automotive industry. A diversification formula and calculation of returns using return-on-equity were employed on the yearly bas…
