講座內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介：Using an innovative instrumental variable quantile regression technique, this paper assesses whether and how country risk and financial uncertainty exert an impact on energy commodity futures prices (crude oil, heating oil, and natural gas) under different commodity conditional return distributions over the period from January 1994 to July 2017. To gain further insights into this issue, we also discuss whether the correlations change with different dimensions of country risk, i.e., economic, financial, and political, which extant studies have ignored. The results reveal that country risk and financial stress do have a significant impact on energy commodity returns of futures contracts with different maturities, but their direction, intensity, and significance differ, caused by the distinct market situations and divergent channels of country risk. These factors are useful indicators for forecasting future returns in financial and commodity markets and can help evaluate and implement trading activities, hedging strategies, and portfolio construction. These results are important for policy makers who should be cautious when formulating a strategy for macroeconomic stability
