3. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
Fuel prices are volatile
Since 1999 they have been even more volatile than
EM equity asset class
Energy prices do affect companies’ and
governments’ financials
On corporate level fuel price shocks are transmitted
through expected earnings; on government level
balances of payments are usually affected the most
If a company or a government isn’t
hedged against energy price shocks, than
financial investor is at risk as well

4. MAJOR RELEVANT STUDIES
Oil and economic activity
Early papers focused on the
pass-through from oil prices per se to
growth (of the U.S. economy), no
consensus achieved
Hamilton (1983), Mork (1989), Raymond and Rich
(1997) etc.
As a results, some scholars attempted
to find non-linearity in transmission
mechanism
Hamilton (2003)
Oil and stock returns
As for macroeconomic effects, mostly
transmission from oil price changes to
equity returns was first studied; higher
oil prices were usually associated with
lower stock returns (at least in DM)
Sadorsky (1999), Driesprong, Jacobsen and Maat
(2008) etc.
This result was often challenged in
country-wise and industry-wise studies
Nandha and Faff (2008), Fayyad and Daly (2011)
Kilian (2008, 2009), Kilian and Park (2009) proposed new approach to the problem and
attempted to endogenize oil price changes using structural VAR models. This approach
was proved to be successful to study the pass-through from oil shocks to macro activity
and stock returns not only in the U.S.
Apergis and Miller (2009), Basher, Haug and Sadorsky (2012), Wang, Wu and Yang (2013)

5. KILIAN’S APPROACH
The corner stone is the global oil market monthly structural VAR model:
j
A0 zt
i 1
Ai zt -i
t
Here 𝑧 𝑡 is a column-vector of three variables: percent change in world crude oil production, index
of global industrial activity and real price of crude oil, 𝛼 is a 31 vector of regression constants, 𝐴 𝑖 are matrices
of regression coefficients and 𝜀 𝑡 is is an i.i.d. 31 error term
This model is identified as follows:

Pass-through from identified (quarterly averaged) structural oil-related shocks to GDP
growth is estimated by fixed distributed lag models with growth being dependent
variable and oil shocks being predictors. pass-through to stock returns is estimated by
the same SVAR as before but expanded with the forth equation for equity returns

6. NATURAL GAS INSTEAD OF CRUDE OIL – WHY NOT?
Gas is an important fuel in CEE
In 9 out of 12 considered countries the share of
natural gas in TPES is higher than that of crude oil
Gas prices in Europe are pretty volatile
albeit oil prices fluctuate more
To adapt Kilian’s approach to gas one
needs to construct monthly European gas
supply and economic activity series

Three-dimension global oil model:
Global monthly oil production (EIA data, m-o-m % growth rates)
Global real activity index (constructed by Kilian, available from his web page)
Based on international freight rates, % deviation from long-term trend, 1st difference used in VARs
Real price of oil (WB data, average of three sorts, US CPI deflated, m-o-m rates)
Three-dimension European gas model:
OECD Europe natural gas net supply (Eurostat and IEA data, m-o-m rates)

Quarterly real GDP growth rates (WB data in national currencies, q-o-q rates)
Four-dimension SVARs for stock returns (in addition to 3-dimension models):
MSCI USD Total Return indices for Czech, Estonia, Hungary, Poland, Russia and Turkey,
OMX USD Total Return indices for Lithuania and Latvia, local USD price return indices
for other markets (m-o-m % growth rates for all)

9. NOTES ON ESTIMATION PROCEDURES
Sample period: Feb’1997 – Mar’2013 (all inputs were seasonally adjusted)
Consistency of time-series properties: all time series used in VAR models were I(0) at 1%
confidence level except for activity indices – for them 1st differences were used
Estimation of SVARs: EViews 7.0 was used, confidence intervals (CI) for impulseresponse functions (IRFs) were computed using built-in analytical approach
Lag specification in SVARs: 24 months by default (as in Kilian’s original model), if
estimated model was not stable, lag was reduced to 12 or (if again not stable) to 6
months (only gas models for Slovenia and Romania, and oil model for Romania)
Lag specification in FDLs for GDP growth: 8 quarters to correspond with lag in SVARs
IRFs of real GDP to oil- and gas-related shocks: since FDLs (estimated by simple OLS)
were run on growth rates, accumulated IRFs (with CI) were computed using simple test
for linear combination of regression coefficients w ˆ , but with enhanced Newey-West
heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation consistent coefficients covariance matrix:

Kilian’s oil model endogenizes real
oil price changes: supply shocks are
irrelevant for oil price dynamics
while aggregate demand and
precautionary oil demand shocks
do matter on 6-9 months horizon
European gas model demonstrates
comparable effects, but their
duration is different: aggregate
demand shocks significantly impact
real gas prices on 12+ months
horizon while gas specific shocks
are more short-lived
Both on global oil markets and
European gas markets price shocks
are mostly demand-driven
phenomena, but different demand
shocks shouldn’t be treated equally

Kilian’s global oil model doesn’t give satisfactory results in estimation of the impact of
oil-related shocks on stock returns in CEE
Effects revealed in oil-to-GDP pass-through estimation seem to be less regular for stock
returns. Oil-specific demand shocks imply higher stock returns over first couple of
months in some countries while negative longer-term impact was found only in the
Ukraine

Gas model clearly shows the importance of distinguishing between different demandrelated shocks. Aggregate demand shocks imply higher stock returns over shorter
terms, but gas-specific shocks result in significantly negative returns over longer terms

Aggregate demand in Europe
Other shocks to stock returns
European gas model is
statistically good enough to
built and analyze a historical
equity returns variance
decomposition
Three big markets (Hungary,
Russia and Poland) were
found to be driven by gasrelated shocks to a
considerable degree – less
than 50% of USD stock
returns variance comes from
disturbances not related to
gas markets
Even well-diversified equity
investor in CEE region is
hugely exposed to gas market
shocks which are rarely on
the radar of investors
15
16. SUMMARY OF MAIN FINDINGS
One can’t make any reasonable conclusions regarding the impact of oil or gas price
shocks on GDP growth and stock returns in CEE without knowing the factors which
stand behind price increases – aggregate and precautionary demand shocks have
different transmission mechanisms. Results for the pass-through from European gasrelated shocks were found to be more pronounced than for oil-related shocks.
Aggregate European demand shocks imply on average stronger GDP jumps in CEE
economies than global demand shocks (except for Poland). Significant drag on growth
in Turkey, Latvia and the Ukraine resulting from gas-specific demand shock was found.
Poland stands out as an economy reacting stronger on global either than European
shocks. An investor exposed to the whole CEE region should overweight Poland each
time he anticipates more positive surprises from global either than European demand.
More than 50% of historical stock returns variance in Russia, Poland and Hungary is due
to gas-related shocks, which is more than in comparable studies for oil-related shocks.
If a diversified equity investor in CE3 stock markets (Poland, Czech, Hungary) faces a
European gas price jump following an unanticipated expansion of aggregate demand in
Europe, he may expect some profits over the next 6-8 months. But if that gas price
jump was due to gas-specific demand shocks, an investor should be aware of potential
losses over 10-12 months horizon.
IV. RESULTS

17. MORE FUELS AND MORE SECTORS
Replacement of broad equity indices by sector stock market indices in the fourdimension structural VAR models
This will show explicitly how different sectors react on oil and gas-related shocks, which is usually of much interest
for an equity investor
Expansion of the four-dimension VAR model with another equation for monthly activity
indicator
This will allow to consider local economic activity and stock market reaction on structural shocks jointly
One can consider building comparable models to study the effects of metals-related or
any other commodity-related shocks
For some CEE countries like the Ukraine, for instance, it definitely makes practical sense
