摘要:This study develops a two step method for investigating the impact of oil shocks on stock returns. Oil price volatility is monitored using structural change and regime switching. The jump model is then used to examine the spillover and asymmetric effects of oil prices on stock returns. Based on cross examination, a conclusive result is obtained, namely, when oil prices fluctuate significantly, asymmetric unexpected changes in oil price negatively impacted the Standard and Poor (S&P500).
