摘要
This study examines the spillover effect of the Baltic Dry Index (BDI) on the commodities futures, currency, and stock markets by using a tri-variate VAR-BEKK-GARCH-X model on a dataset from October 1, 2007 to October 31, 2018. Results reveal that the BDI spillover effect is time-varying. The spillover effect of the BDI was insignificant during the whole sample period but significant during the 2008/2009 global financial tsunami, and its influence increased during the 2014-2016 economic slowdown in China. The BDI serves as a short-term rather than long-term indicator for the commodities, currency, and equity markets, especially during financial crises.
