Duration of Global Financial Cycles
Özet
The duration of Global Financial Cycles (GFCs) have a role in the global financial environment which is shaped by the fluctuations in short-term capital flows, changes in monetary conditions in the center economies and co-movement in asset prices. The duration of GFCs for a set of global financial data - the VIX index, the TED spread and the 3-Month LIBOR-Effective Federal Funds Rate - are analyzed by using a periodogram-based method. Our results suggest that there is a 43-month common cycle for these three series. We obtain eight different cycle periods for 43-month common cycles from our sample period. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V.
