Abstract
The thesis explores the dynamic relationship between the volatility of European Union Allowances and their key price determinants, including natural gas, coal, Brent oil, and the European market index. The study applies the DCC-GARCH(1,1) model on time series data from 2013 to 2024 covering EU ETS Phase III as whole and three first years of Phase IV.
Results reveal that volatilities of all variables are partly dependent on past errors and volatilities, and variables seem to have jointly time-variant conditional correlation. Further analysis suggest that volatility has been more persistent and conditional correlation more time bound during the Phase III. Out of all variables gas show strongest conditional correlation with EUA while having overall very similar correlation development pattern with EUA and coal correlation pattern further implying similar underlying factors. Similar observations can be made between EUA and oil conditional correlation and EUA and market conditional correlation.
