Abstract

This paper analyses the effect of supply constraints on international stock market volatility and while also considering their effect on stock returns. Using higher-order nonparametric causality-in-quantiles tests and daily data for China, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, and overall Europe, we find strong evidence of Granger causality flowing from supply constraints to the entire conditional distribution of stock returns and volatility. Notably, supply constraints positively predict stock volatility. This positive predictability remains robust when using alternative measures, including monthly realized variance and different metrics of supply constraints. Our findings have implications for investors and policymakers.
