Measuring market volatility connectedness to media sentiment
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-29)We examine directional connectedness patterns from news and social media to financial market volatility using textual analysis and high-frequency data. We find that media sentiment induces market volatility, but the magnitude of that connectedness is time-varying. In addition, news and social media sentiment pertinent to one market transmits volatility to other markets. Finally, we find that ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-28)The framing of event sustainability should go beyond the greening of specific events and the event sector. Based on a relational approach, we used actor–network theory and Foucauldian discourse analysis to investigate the debate on a music event sustainability. We collected and discursively analysed online newspapers and social media data regarding this event’s sustainability. The findings showed a ... -
