Publications Database

Welcome to the new Schulich Peer-Reviewed Publication Database!

The database is currently in beta-testing and will be updated with more features as time goes on. In the meantime, stakeholders are free to explore our faculty’s numerous works. The left-hand panel affords the ability to search by the following:

  • Faculty Member’s Name;
  • Area of Expertise;
  • Whether the Publication is Open-Access (free for public download);
  • Journal Name; and
  • Date Range.

At present, the database covers publications from 2012 to 2020, but will extend further back in the future. In addition to listing publications, the database includes two types of impact metrics: Altmetrics and Plum. The database will be updated annually with most recent publications from our faculty.

If you have any questions or input, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Abstract The rapid growth in FinTech is attracting significant investor attention. There are concerns that FinTech stocks may be a source of systemic risk and this has implications for the stability of the financial sector. This study uses a TVP-VAR model to estimate the dynamic connectedness between global FinTech stocks and the stocks of large US banks, regional US banks, US insurance, and global private equity. The findings reveal that FinTech and insurance stocks are net receivers of shocks while large US banks are a major source of shocks. Thus, FinTech stocks are not a source of systemic risk but can be affected by financial contagion and systemic risk originating from large US banks. The highest connectedness was observed at the onset of the COVID-19 lockdowns illustrating the dramatic impact that a health pandemic can have on systemic risk. Systemic risk also increased during the 2023 US bank panic. Connectedness has implications for constructing investment portfolios. The equally weighted, risk parity, and risk parity connectedness portfolios have similar portfolio summary statistics, but lower risk adjusted returns than the maximum Sharpe ratio portfolio which better captures the low correlation between FinTech stocks and traditional financial stocks. These results are robust across various portfolio rebalancing periods (daily, weekly, monthly).
