Abstract
This study aims to provide important insights regarding the integrated structure of global factors and Pakistan’s leading sector-level indices by estimating the dynamic network and pairwise connectedness of the global crude oil index, MSCI index, European economic policy uncertainty index, and important sector-level indices of Pakistan based on QVAR using daily frequency over the period of 20 years from 2002 to 2022. The findings demonstrate high interconnectedness among global factors indices and Pakistan’s leading sector-level indices. The results of net directional connectivity showed that the EPEUI, WTI, and MSCI indices are the “net receivers” of volatility spillover. At the same time, the financial and energy sectors are the “net transmitter” of shocks. Connectedness is high amid financial upheavals. The research findings provide crucial insights for policymakers, businesses, portfolio managers, and investors.
