ABSTRACT
This paper investigates the asymmetric, time, and frequency-based volatility spillovers in global IT industries. To this end, we introduce a new Wavelet-Time Varying Parameter-VAR (W-TVP-VAR) approach to compute connectedness combined with the asymmetrical connectedness of (Barndorff-Nielsen et al., 2010) and (Baruník et al., 2016, 2017) at different frequencies. Daily stock prices of the IT sector in thirteen countries representing the top technologically advanced countries ranging from January 15, 2016, until June 24, 2022, are used. The empirical results show that the aggregate volatility is slowly transmitted across markets with an effect lasting more than twenty days. The result also supports the presence of asymmetrical transmission as downside spillovers dominate upside spillovers, regardless of the frequency. Furthermore, the time-varying spillover shows the dominance of downside spillovers in various crisis periods, especially during the pandemic. The time and frequency-based spillover indicate that the overall spillover increased during the recent COVID-19 pandemic crisis period, which is mostly driven by the short-term, suggesting that panic decisions and herd behavior result in extreme connectedness. These findings are helpful to participants and policymakers.
