Book Chapter
Legrenzi. (2022). Tracing the Sources of Contagion in the Oil-Finance Nexus. In Applications in Energy Finance, The Energy Sector, Economic Activity, Financial Markets, and the Environment (115-143). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-92957-2_5

We introduce an approach to trace the genesis of contagion occurring in the oil-finance nexus, which consolidates veteran non-linear oil price measures derived from the empirical oil literature, to construct a rule-based specification for filtering s...

Contagion testing in frontier markets under alternative stressful S&P 500 market scenarios (2022)
Journal Article
Mahadeo, S. M., Heinlein, R., & Legrenzi, G. (2022). Contagion testing in frontier markets under alternative stressful S&P 500 market scenarios. North American Journal of Economics and Finance, 60, Article 101629. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.najef.2021.101629

We use alternative approaches to identify stable and stressful scenarios in the S&P 500 market, to offer a new perspective for constructing contagion tests in recipient frontier markets vulnerable to disturbances from this source market. The S&P 500... Read More about Contagion testing in frontier markets under alternative stressful S&P 500 market scenarios.

Crude oil and stock markets in the COVID-19 crisis: Evidence from oil exporters and importers (2021)
Journal Article
Heinlein, R., Legrenzi, G. D., & Mahadeo, S. M. (2021). Crude oil and stock markets in the COVID-19 crisis: Evidence from oil exporters and importers. Quarterly Review of Economics and Finance, 223 - 229. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.qref.2021.09.007

Financial assets tend to immediately react to the developments of a global crisis. We investigate how the relationship between crude oil and stock market returns for a heterogeneous selection of oil exporters and importers has been affected in the on...

Contagion Testing in Embryonic Markets Under Alternative Stressful US Market Scenarios (2019)
Journal Article
Mahadeo, S. M., Heinlein, R., & Legrenzi, G. D. (2019). Contagion Testing in Embryonic Markets Under Alternative Stressful US Market Scenarios. SSRN, https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3523533

We consolidate alternative ways for identifying stable and stressful scenarios in the S&P 500 market to construct contagion tests for recipient markets vulnerable to disturbances from this source market. The S&P 500 is decomposed into discrete condit... Read More about Contagion Testing in Embryonic Markets Under Alternative Stressful US Market Scenarios.

Energy contagion analysis: a new perspective with application to a small petroleum economy (2019)
Journal Article
Legrenzi. (2019). Energy contagion analysis: a new perspective with application to a small petroleum economy. Energy Economics, 890-903. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eneco.2019.02.007

We put forward the novel concept of energy contagion, i.e. a deepening of energy-finance linkages under crisis conditions in energy markets. Further, we show how to construct tests for energy contagion through correlation, co-skewness, and co-volatil...
