Abstract :
This study examines volatility spillovers among Iranian financial markets using the VAR-BEKK model and introduces the simultaneous equations of the GARCH system. The findings indicate a reciprocal influence between the volatility of the food industry index and the total stock index. Additionally, coin market fluctuations have a significant positive impact on exchange rate volatility, while the food industry index volatility strongly affects the volatility of the total stock index. Model comparisons show that the simultaneous equations GARCH system provides a more precise framework for analyzing volatility spillovers across markets compared to VAR-BEKK. The results suggest that the VAR-GARCH-BEKK model alone is not sufficiently reliable for capturing spillover effects and should be complemented with structural approaches such as simultaneous equations. These insights contribute to a deeper understanding of market interactions and offer valuable implications for risk management and financial policymaking, particularly in designing strategies to stabilize markets.
