Abstract

This study examines higher-order and cross-moment spillovers across MENA stock markets. Our unique framework integrates the ACD model with the TVP-VAR extended joint connectedness approach. We also analyze how geopolitical risks and global fear predict and influence both identical and cross-moment spillovers. Our findings show stronger total volatility spillovers among MENA stock markets compared to skewness and kurtosis spillovers. Cross-moment spillovers are more pronounced than those in the CS and CK measures, with the CV-CK pair showing the strongest effects. VIX and GPR are found to Granger cause total spillovers in both identical and cross-moment measures during specific periods.
