Abstract

We explore the impact of uncertainty on financial markets in the aftermath of the global financial crisis. In particular, we investigate the temporal dynamics of the dependence structure of stock, currency and oil markets in the United States using a nonparametric copula approach. Policy uncertainty is modeled via the EPU index of Baker et al. (). We find evidence of a pronounced extreme tail asymmetric interrelationship between the crude oil market and economic uncertainty.
