Abstract

Understanding how risks are transferred between fossil energy markets is essential to promoting China’s sustainable growth as climate change and the energy transition shake these markets. This study uses the CoVaR approach to build a tail risk network with a focus on the fossil energy industry in China. We then use the PageRank algorithm to determine which institutions and industries within this network are systemically important. Furthermore, we look into how exogenous shocks from extreme occurrences can dynamically transmit tail risk spillovers in the market. The empirical results show that risk spillovers within China’s fossil fuel system vary over time. This study provides new insights into fossil energy markets that can assist investors in spreading investment risks and regulators in creating effective policies by examining the various risk transmission mechanisms among fossil energy markets of three crises: the COVID-19 pandemic, the Sino-US trade war, and the Russia–Ukraine conflict.
