COVID-19 vaccine and post-pandemic recovery: Evidence from Bitcoin cross-asset implied volatility spillover

This paper examines implied volatility spillovers and connectedness between Bitcoin and a broad range of traditional financial assets (U.S. equity market, gold, crude oil, emerging markets and developing markets) from January 8, 2019 to January 20, 2022.

description This paper examines implied volatility spillovers and connectedness between Bitcoin and a broad range of traditional financial assets (U.S. equity market, gold, crude oil, emerging markets and developing markets) from January 8, 2019 to January 20, 2022. Vector Auto-Regression and Generalized Forecast Error Variance Decomposition are used to compare results before COVID-19, during COVID-19 and after the vaccine becomes available. Results indicate higher connectedness during COVID-19 but very low connectedness after the vaccine is available, signaling recovery in financial markets. We also find that Bitcoin is a strong transmitter of volatility during COVID-19.
