Abstract

The interdependence of stock markets is crucial for systemic risk management and policy formulation. While most studies focus on returns and volatility, our paper explores higher-order moment risk linkages among BRICS equity markets. It also investigates how geopolitical conflicts affect the transmission of higher-order moments. The findings reveal that risk spillovers between these markets are time-varying, with kurtosis spillovers being more prominent than those from volatility and skewness. The dynamic evolution of these spillovers intensifies during major financial crises.
