“…To shed light on the aforementioned question and extend the research on cross‐market associations, this paper examines tail risk contagion across commodity markets during the COVID‐19 crisis. Although a number of studies have examined the impact of COVID‐19 on price linkages between commodity markets (e.g., Chen et al, 2022 ; Gong et al, 2022 ; Hung, 2021 ; Just & Echaust, 2022 ; Sun et al, 2021 ; Umar et al, 2022 ; Zhang & Ding, & Shi, 2022 ), most of them, however, have only focused on linkages between a few typical commodities (e.g., the linkages between crude oil and agricultural commodities) or various commodity indices, looking only at the connectedness of returns and volatility among commodities. To the best of our knowledge, little attention has been paid to the impact of COVID‐19 on the tail risk connectedness across commodities, and our study fills this gap.…”
