Abstract: This paper explores the short- and long-term impacts of international geopolitical risk (GPR) on China's crude oil (INE) prices. A Quantile Autoregressive Distributed Lag (QARDL) approach is employed to comprehensively explain the relationship between GPR and different price quantiles of INE prices by considering both nonlinear and asymmetric characteristics. Our results show that after controlling global oil prices, investments in renewable energy, and crude oil inventory, GPR negatively affects INE prices in most cases except the higher quantiles, where it positively affects INE prices in the short-term.
