Abstract
ABSTRACT Based on the TVP-VAR-DY and TVP-VAR-BK models, this article examines the characteristics and mechanisms of systemic risk contagion in the Chinese industries under geopolitical events by selecting data spans from 1 January 2010 to 31 August 2022. First, dynamic analysis of full-sample risk contagion shows that there is a significant climb in total risk during geopolitical events. Then the static analysis of risk contagion in the full sample specifically shows the correlation between risk contagion and industry chain between the financial and real sectors. Besides, the sub-sample analysis illustrates that during geopolitical events such as the Sino-US Trade War, the COVID-19 Pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine Conflict, Chinese industrial stock indexes show short-term risk spillovers from key industries related to geopolitical events, and gradually spread along the industrial chain in the long run compared to the Chinese ‘Stock Market Crash’. Through further mechanistic tests, we find that the irrational behaviour of investors in the market exacerbates short-term risk contagion, while the financial distress of real firms due to financing constraints exacerbates long-term risk contagion. In addition, geopolitical risk, economic uncertainty, and policy uncertainty as macro variables also have an impact on the short-run and long-run risk contagion.
