| Sumari: | This article investigates similarities and differences between gold and four
cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin). To do so,
we estimate a system-GARCH-in-mean with respect to four determinants for
the period starting 7/18/2014 at earliest until 7/12/2021. We find that, first,
liquidity premia are less important. Second, volatility premia exist in either
gold and cryptocurrencies. Third, the response of cryptocurrencies to ex-
change rate changes is more pronounced than for gold at least if developing
countries are included. Fourth, gold exhibits a safe haven status, while cryptocurrencies do not. So those cannot be seen as a store of value but rather as speculative assets. |
