Transitioning to Sustainability: Dynamic Spillovers Between Sustainability Indices and Chinese Stock Market

Abstract

This paper investigates the dynamic transition of the Chinese stock market towards a just and sustainable future by examining the tail risk connectedness and frequency-quantile dependence between a series of sustainability indices and Chinese stock market sectors. Employing the novel TVP-VAR-CAViaR connectedness method and the wavelet quantile correlation (WQC) method, we capture the evolving relationship between sustainability factors and market performance. Considering the significant, far-reaching, and lasting effects of such uncertainties on the financial markets, our analysis provides essential guidance for investors and policymakers alike in navigating decisions and crafting regulations.
