Cover Story: The rapid spread of COVID-19 favored the transmission of shocks among energy commodities, emphasizing the importance of developing accurate analytic models to quantify related risks. The aim of this paper is to assess the effects of the pandemic on energy commodity markets. The authors estimate daily volatility and correlations beteeen energy commodities relying on a multivariate time series model with a mixed-frequency approach that exploits the information about the number of weekly deaths caused by COVID-19. The analysis provides a useful tool for risk managers and decision makers to understand the effects of the pandemic on the spillovers in energy markets. View this paper
