摘要
The study examines the relationship between economic uncertainty, as measured by the Twitterbased economic uncertainty index (TEU), and Metaverse stocks across different time-frequency domains. By employing Wavelet Local Multiple Correlation analysis, we identify a substantial and statistically significant correlation between TEU and the Metaverse stock market across all time horizons examined. The positive correlation is confirmed when two alternative measures of economic uncertainty: crude oil and gold volatility, are included. The results highlight the importance of considering real-world economic uncertainty in decision-making processes involving virtual reality environments.
