This paper investigates flight-to-safety from stocks to bonds
in seven European markets. We use quantile regressions to identify flight-
to-safety episodes. The simple risk-return trade-off on the stock markets is
negative which is caused by flight-to-safety episodes: During normal periods,
the risk-return trade-off is positive and during flight-to-safety episodes it is
negative. The effects of flight-to-safety episodes on the risk-return trade-off
are qualitatively similar for own country flight-to-safety episodes, for flight
from own country stock market to the US bond market, and for US flight-
to-safety. The strength of the trade-off is strongest for own country flight-
to-safety episodes. The risk-return trade-off is not significantly influenced
by recession periods or the recent sovereign debt crisis. The main results
hold for flight to gold instead of to bonds.
Keywords: flight-to-safety; risk-return trade-off; European markets; stock
market; bond market; gold futures.
