摘要：
Using a time-varying vector error correction model (VECM), we examine the dynamic information shares of the top four Cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP) and Litecoin (LTC) over 1/1/2016-31/12/2019. Although steadily decreasing, the information share of BTC is still the largest as of end-2019. The individual dominances of market capitalization and trading volume can explain 20% of variations of the BTC information share but only 6% of those for ETH. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V.
