Abstract

Energy is an essential element in economic activity and people's lives, an important resource used by various industries, and the financialization of commodity markets has led to the growing importance of crude oil turning into the same asset as other assets. Accordingly, studies analyzing the correlation between energy prices and investor sentiment explain that investor sentiment affects oil prices through economic factors and speculation. In this study, we wanted to analyze whether the impact of the most representative changes in oil prices affects investor decision making, affecting investor sentiment, and applying wavelet consistency analysis to determine how energy prices relate to investor sentiment. Studies show that policies should be focused on policy and market changes because energy prices differ by time scale and investment sentiment should be more influential in the long term than in the short term.

에너지는 경제활동과 사람들의 삶에 있어서 필수적인 요소이고 다양한 산업에서 활용하고 있는 중요한 자원이며 상품 시장의 금융화로 인해 원유가 다른 자산과 동일한 자산으로 변함으로써 그 중요성이 커지고 있다. 이에 따라 에너지 가격과 투자 심리간의 상관관계를 분석한 연구들은 대부분 경제적 요인과 투기를 통해 투자 심리가 유가에 영향을 미친다고 설명하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 에너지 가격과 관련하여 가장 대표적인 유가 변동에 따른 충격이 투자자 의사결정에 영향을 미쳐 투자 심리 변화에 영항을 주는가에 대한 내용을 중심으로 전반적인 에너지 가격 변동이 투자 심리에 영향을 미치는가에 대한 내용을 분석하고자 하였으며, 에너지 가격이 투자 심리에 어떠한 연관성이 있는지를 파악하기 위하여 웨이블릿 일관성 분석(wavelet coherence analysis)을 적용하여 주기별(단기, 중기, 장기) 에너지 가격이 투자 심리를 예측할 수 있는지를 분석하였다. 연구결과 에너지 가격과 투자 심리 사이의 시간 척도별로 차이가 발생하며 투자 심리 안정화를 위해 정책은 시간 척도별 효과를 고려하여야 하며, 에너지 가격과 관련한 투자 심리의 영향력은 단기보다 장기에서 더 크게 나타나고 있으며 마지막으로 시장에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 특정 사건 등이 발생하는 경우 에너지 가격과 투자 심리의 관련성 차이가 발생하기 때문에 이를 감안한 정책 및 시장 변화에 집중해야 할 필요가 있는 것으로 판단된다.
