On the dynamic dependence between equity markets, commodity futures and economic uncertainty indexes

This paper provides a thorough analysis on multiscale dependence schemes between equity markets, commodity futures and uncertainty indexes. Based on decomposed return series, we provide an exhaustive survey on time varying dependence, before and after the outbreak of financial crisis. Although daily returns of equity markets and commodity futures are described by weak dependence, our results indicate a stronger dependence between the long-run trends of both asset classes.
