Volatility spillovers and conditional correlations between oil, renewables and stock markets: A multivariate GARCH-in-mean analysis by Wenxue Wang, Peter G. Moffatt, Zheng Zhang, Muhammad Yousaf Raza

“…Stock market volatility has a positive spillover effect on both conventional and renewable energies in the short-run, but these spillover effects are negative in the long-run. Our estimates of the time-paths of dynamic conditional correlations provide evidence that the renewable market is more heavily “financialized” than the traditional energy market, and moreover that the strong financialization of renewables is robust to financial crises.…”
