Abstract

In this work, our objective is to study in a first step the relationships between oil price and stock market indices in Tunisia and Egypt using copulas, and then in a second step to analyse the optimal weights and hedge ratio for building optimal portfolios to minimise the exposure to risk from oil price changes. The model is implemented with an ARMA-GARCH-GPD using daily observations for the 2 January 1998 to 31 December 2013 period for the marginal distribution and the extreme value copula for the joint distribution, which allows taking into account non-linear dependence, tails behaviour and their development over time. Various copula functions are used to model the dependence structure between oil prices and stock markets of Tunisia and Egypt. Empirical results provide evidence of significant and symmetric tail dependence for international oil prices and stock markets. On the other hand, volatility for this stock markets registered record levels due to the increase of the degree of oil prices. However, dependence structure changed over time, indicating that hedging effectiveness and hedge ratio for the oil asset in the hedged portfolios varied over time.
