Abstract

Economic development, especially that which uses fossil fuels, has led to an increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and contributes to climate change. The carbon credit markets mitigate this. Once the capital market finances the production, the relationship between these markets should be observed. This study aims to investigate the relationships between these markets. The methodology includes causality and cointegration hypothesis tests, as well as the estimation of VECM and GARCH models. The results provide statistically significant estimates of volatility contagion.
