Does crude oil move stock markets in Europe? A sector investigation

Economic Modelling, 2011, vol. 28, issue 4, 1716-1725

Abstract: The aim of this article is to investigate the responses of European sector stock markets to oil price changes. We use linear and asymmetric models and study the association of oil and stock prices. Our findings suggest that the strength of this association varies greatly across sectors. Moreover, for some sectors we find strong evidence of asymmetry in the reaction of stock returns to changes in the price of oil.
