Tracking safe haven properties of cryptocurrencies during the COVID-19 pandemic: A smooth transition approach

Abstract:
The study aims to examine the hedge and safe-haven properties of three heavyweight cryptocurrencies-Bitcoin, Ripple, and Ethereum-against the stock, commodity, and foreign exchange markets. The study sample covers the period of August 2011 to September 2020 and therefore includes the current coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) crisis. Using a logistic smooth transition regression model (LSTR2), the study findings indicate the ability of monitored cryptocurrencies to act as safe-haven assets, but such behavior differs across markets. Interestingly, during the pandemic period, Ethereum provides the strongest safe haven function for the commodity market. According to our findings, we are mindful of that the COVID-19 outbreak provides an exciting opportunity to advance our knowledge of the prominence of new coins such as Ethereum that are gradually gaining supremacy in the cryptocurrency market to the detriment of traditional cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

Stability
The stability of an LTI system is determined by the roots of its characteristic equation, known as poles. A system is stable if it produces a bounded...
Stability of Substituted Cyclohexanes
The two chair conformations of cyclohexanes undergo rapid interconversion at room temperature. Both forms have identical energies and stabilities, each comprising equal amounts of the equilibrium mixture. Replacing a hydrogen atom with a functional group makes the two conformations energetically non-equivalent.
For example, in...
Cyclic Processes And Isolated Systems
In the case of a non-isolated system, the change in the internal energy is zero only if the process is cyclic. A thermodynamic process is considered cyclic if the system undergoes a series of changes and returns to its initial state.
Consider a cyclic process that returns to its initial state, undergoing a four-step process. The heat transfer along each...
