The dynamic connectedness between renewable energy market and environmental protection industry based on time and frequency perspective

Abstract

Renewable energy promotes the sustainable development of the environmental protection industry (EPI) and the economy. Meanwhile, the EPI provides various technologies and services for renewable energy, which is an important guarantee for the renewable energy market. This paper combines the DY and BK spillover indexes to discuss the cross-market risk contagion effect between EPI and renewable energy market from the perspective of time-frequency spillover. The results show that: (1) The spillover effect between the EPI and renewable energy market is cyclical from the perspective of frequency domain, and the total market spillover is dominated by high-frequency spillover. And the risk contagion has the characteristics of time-varying and vulnerability from the perspective of time domain. (2) The net spillover effect shows that the EPI plays the role of a net exporter in different frequency domains, the solar energy and the hydro market play more roles as risk receivers, and the role of the wind energy market is frequently converted. (3) The risk spillover network structure shows that EPI acts as an important node in the cross-market risk contagion path. Driven by EPI, the short-term risk transmission follows the path of “EPI-biomass energy-other four renewable energy markets”, and the medium and long-term follows the path of “EPI-wind energy-other four renewable energy markets”.
