As framework, we use a global semi-structural model augmented with financial and trade inter-linkages. Financial interlinkages are modelled with proposed global uncertainty, global risk aversion and global financial cycle channels. Trade interlinkages are modelled with proposed value-chain trade equations. We find that global uncertainty and global risk aversion are, by far, the main volatility factors in all economies. Other volatility factors such as US interest rates, foreign interest rates and trade-related factors rarely explain shares of forecast error variance above one percent.}, publisher = {Banco de la República de Colombia}, booktitle = {Borradores de Economía}, volume = {Borradores de Economía; No. 1011}, keywords = {Ciclo financiero mundial}, keywords = {Incertidumbre}, keywords = {Aversión al riesgo}, keywords = {Riesgo global}, keywords = {Cadenas de valor global}, keywords = {Ecuaciones comerciales de la cadena de valor}, keywords = {Modelo semi-estructural global}, title = {Volatility Spillovers and the Global Financial Cycle Across Economies: Evidence from a Global Semi-Structural Model}, keywords = {Global financial cycle}, keywords = {Uncertainty}, keywords = {Risk aversion}, keywords = {Global risk}, keywords = {Global value chains}, keywords = {Value-chain trade equations}, keywords = {Global semi-structural model}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.32468/be.1011}, }
