This study examines how global risk aversion affects future real economic activity (REA). We propose a new international real business cycle (RBC) framework with a stochastic global risk aversion spillover process by extending the RBC model. Our model reflects output competition and risk...

This study examines the effect of global risk aversion on future real economic activity (REA) and stock market volatility. We propose new international real business cycle (RBC) frameworks with a stochastic global risk-aversion spillover process by extending the commonly used RBC models. We also...
