Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will accept papers on the general theme of financial contagion. Topics of interest include the measures and channels of financial contagion, spillovers between financial markets during both crisis and non-crisis periods, portfolio hedging in periods of financial contagion, the occurrence of financial contagion between developed and emerging markets, evidence of financial contagion during major crises such as a global financial crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Innovative approaches involving these topics are encouraged. This Special Issue welcomes theoretical, empirical, literature review, and pedagogical research projects.
There is extensive literature on the definition, measures, and channels of financial contagion (Allen and Gale, 2000; Bae et al., 2003; Kaminsky et al., 2003; Pericoli and Sbracia, 2003). Studies find financial contagion and spillovers during the Asian Financial Crisis (Chiang et al., 2007), global financial crisis (Akhtaruzzaman and Shamsuddin, 2016; Akhtaruzzaman et al., 2014), European debt crisis (Akhtaruzzaman et al., 2021a), and the COVID-19 pandemic (Akhtaruzzaman et al., 2021b; Akhtaruzzaman, Boubaker, and Sensoy, 2021; Akhtaruzzaman et al., 2022; Akhtaruzzaman et al., 2021c). This Special Issue aims to explore the newer dimension of financial contagion.
We invite contributions in the form of original research articles on the theory, practice, and applications of financial contagion. All submissions must contain original unpublished work that is not being considered for publication elsewhere.
