Item Tail risk connectedness in the Australian National Electricity Markets: The impact of rare events(Elsevier B.V., 2024-12-25) Pham SD; Do HX; Nepal R; Jamasb TThe tail risks can exhibit different and important features than average measures of risk in interconnected electricity markets. This paper examines the interconnectedness of tail risks within the regionally interconnected Australian National Electricity Market. We use the Conditional Autoregressive Value-at-Risk (CAViaR) and time-varying parameter vector autoregression (TVP-VAR) connectedness approach. Analysing historical data between 01 January 2006 and 04 February 2024. The results show significant levels of connectedness for both negative and positive tail risks, highlighting the dynamic and interdependent nature of these markets. Notably, we identify asymmetries in the transmission of tail risks and their key drivers, including oil market volatility and global geopolitical risks. Our findings show that some regions play a pivotal role in the risk dynamics across the regions of the network and the influence of energy source diversity on risk profiles. The study underscores the complexity of managing the expected increase in tail risks in interconnected electricity markets, emphasizing the need for adaptive, forward-thinking strategies tailored to evolving global and local conditions.Item Electricity market crisis in Europe and cross border price effects: A quantile return connectedness analysis(Elsevier B V, 2024-07) Do HX; Nepal R; Pham SD; Jamasb TAs the interconnection of the European electricity markets and integration of renewables progresses, there is little known about interconnectedness across them at times of market turbulence. The electricity crisis of 2021 and 2023 were significant events that can also provide lessons in the behaviour of integrated markets with high renewables under stress. Despite the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war on the European energy market, little is known about their effects on the transmission of risks between the electricity markets. We employ the quantile connectedness approach to quantify the return connectedness between eleven key European markets, as well as the natural gas and carbon markets. We then examine the effect of the two crises on the interconnectedness. We find significant return interconnectedness, driven by spillover effects, among the markets. Analysis of connectedness across quantiles shows that the spillover effects are much stronger at tail ends of conditional distribution. Moreover, our results reveal opposite effects from crises on market interconnectedness. While the COVID-19 pandemic reduced the interconnectedness, the Russia-Ukraine war intensified the return shock transmission. Finally, we find that the natural gas and carbon markets are net recipients of return shocks across the quantiles.
