Summary
This study reveals asymmetric risk dependence between Chinese and mature stock markets. Mature markets primarily transmit risk to China, with stronger downside effects, impacting investment strategies.
Area of Science:
- Financial Economics
- Quantitative Finance
- Econometrics
Background:
- Understanding risk spillover between emerging and mature stock markets is crucial for global financial stability.
- Existing models may not fully capture the dynamic and asymmetric nature of risk dependence.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the dynamic risk dependence and contagion effects between the Chinese stock market and mature stock markets.
- To develop and apply a novel Markov-switching mixed-Clayton copula model for this analysis.
- To provide actionable insights for investors and risk managers regarding cross-market risk.
Main Methods:
- Development of a Markov-switching mixed-Clayton (Ms-M-Clayton) copula model.
- Application of the model to analyze dynamic risk dependence between China and mature markets (Americas, Europe, Asia-Oceania).
- Utilizing Conditional Value at Risk (CoVaR) to quantify risk spillovers.
Main Results:
- Empirical evidence of a time-varying yet stable positive risk dependence structure.
- Asymmetric correlations between upside and downside risks.
- Predominant risk contagion from mature markets to China, with a stronger downside effect.
- Weaker risk contagion from Asia-Oceania compared to Europe and the Americas.
Conclusions:
- The Chinese stock market exhibits significant, asymmetric risk dependence with mature markets.
- Risk contagion flows predominantly from mature economies to China, particularly during downturns.
- Geographical origin of risk contagion to China varies in intensity, with Europe and the Americas posing greater influence than Asia-Oceania.

Relative Risk
258
Relative risk (RR) is a statistical measure commonly used in epidemiology to compare the likelihood of a particular event occurring between two groups. This metric is important for evaluating the relationship between exposure to a specific risk factor and the probability of a particular outcome. It plays a crucial role in medical research, public health studies, and risk assessment. Relative risk quantifies how much more (or less) likely an event is to occur in an exposed group compared to an...

Hazard Ratio
172
The hazard ratio (HR) is a widely used measure in clinical trials to compare the risk of events, such as death or disease recurrence, between two groups over time. It reflects the ratio of hazard rates—the instantaneous risk of the event occurring—between a treatment group and a control group. This measure provides valuable insights into the relative effectiveness of a treatment by assessing how the risk of an event differs between the two groups.

Parametric Survival Analysis: Weibull and Exponential Methods
497
Parametric survival analysis models survival data by assuming a specific probability distribution for the time until an event occurs. The Weibull and exponential distributions are two of the most commonly used methods in this context, due to their versatility and relatively straightforward application.
Weibull Distribution
The Weibull distribution is a flexible model used in parametric survival analysis. It can handle both increasing and decreasing hazard rates, depending on its shape parameter...

Contingency Table
2.6K
A contingency table provides a way of portraying data that can facilitate calculating probabilities. It is a method of displaying a frequency distribution as a table with rows and columns to show how two variables may be dependent (contingent) upon each other; The table helps determine conditional probabilities quite quickly and can help systematically organize, analyze and quantify data. The table displays sample values concerning two variables that may be dependent or contingent on one...

Causality in Epidemiology
522
Causality or causation is a fundamental concept in epidemiology, vital for understanding the relationships between various factors and health outcomes. Despite its importance, there's no single, universally accepted definition of causality within the discipline. Drawing from a systematic review, causality in epidemiology encompasses several definitions, including production, necessary and sufficient, sufficient-component, counterfactual, and probabilistic models. Each has its strengths and...

Comparing the Survival Analysis of Two or More Groups
230
Survival analysis is a cornerstone of medical research, used to evaluate the time until an event of interest occurs, such as death, disease recurrence, or recovery. Unlike standard statistical methods, survival analysis is particularly adept at handling censored data—instances where the event has not occurred for some participants by the end of the study or remains unobserved. To address these unique challenges, specialized techniques like the Kaplan-Meier estimator, log-rank test, and...
