To identify the cross-regional transmission characteristics of live hog market price risks under the impact of extreme events such as animal epidemics, this study utilized monthly interprovincial swine price data from 2005 to 2022. Employing the LASSO-VAR-DY spillover network and DCC-GARCH methodologies, this study analyzed the spatial spillover structure and driving mechanisms of extreme price risks in the live hog market. The results indicate that: 1) The transmission of risks in the live hog market exhibits distinct event-driven characteristics. During periods of extreme shocks, network connectivity increases significantly, and topological indicators such as network density and the clustering coefficient rise in tandem. 2) Price risk spillovers display time-varying and spatially heterogeneous patterns; following the 2018 African swine fever outbreak, the source effect of major production areas became prominent, regional interdependence increased markedly, while some relatively isolated regions maintained relatively stable risk levels. 3) The compactness of the network structure and the level of capitalization in live hog farming have a significant positive impact on the intensity of risk spillover; the more compact the risk-linked network and the higher the level of capitalization, the stronger the inter-regional risk transmission effect. The swine epidemic index exerts a non-linear impact on market risks. Its impact only emerges once the epidemic develops to a severe stage, and such pandemic disturbances significantly amplify cross-provincial extreme risk spillover effects. This study tracks the time-varying characteristics, spatial transmission routes and driving factors of extreme price risks within China’s hog market. It clarifies the propagation logic of regional price risks amid severe market shocks. The conclusions drawn in this research can provide practical references for optimizing interregional monitoring and early warning mechanisms for the hog sector.
式中:被解释变量为系统性风险贡献度(ΔCoVaR it 、MES it );核心解释变量为生猪疫情指数EI it 、网络关联度EC it 和养殖资本化率CR it;为常数项;、和分别为核心解释变量的估计系数;为控制变量Xit 的系数;和分别为个体和时间固定效应;为随机扰动项。
2)变量说明。EI it 用于衡量生猪重大疫情冲击程度。疫情统计范围包括非洲猪瘟、猪瘟、高致病性猪蓝耳病、猪肺疫和猪丹毒5类重大疫病。相关数据来源于历年《中国兽医公报》分省份统计资料,主要包括生猪重大疫病死亡数和强制扑杀数量。为提高不同省份之间的可比性,本研究对疫情冲击进行规模标准化处理,以各省生猪重大疫病死亡数与强制扑杀数量之和占生猪出栏量的比重构建疫情指数。此外,本研究将生猪价格风险溢出网络的特征向量中心度作为网络关联度(EC it )的衡量指标。CR it 反映生猪养殖的资本投入强度与资本深化水平。考虑到规模养殖通常伴随较高的固定资产投入,借鉴王刚毅等[30]的研究方法,以年出栏500头及以上规模养殖场数量占总养殖场数量的比重作为资本化程度的代理指标。为检验结论的稳健性,后续用固定资产投入密度作为养殖资本化率的替代指标。
