		Two-Stage Detection and Attribution of Cross-Border Financial
		Contagion Channels // Implementation of a two-stage framework
		for the joint detection-and-attribution of cross-border
		financial contagion. Stage one detects directional information
		flows between equity markets via Wavelet-Quantile Transfer
		Entropy, combining maximal-overlap discrete wavelet
		decomposition (Percival and Walden, 2000, ISBN:9780521685085)
		with the transfer-entropy estimator of Schreiber (2000)
		doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.85.461 and quantile conditioning
		following Han, Linton, Oka and Whang (2016)
		doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2016.03.001. Stage two attributes each
		significant directional link to one of five mutually exclusive
		transmission channels (Trade, Financial, Geopolitical,
		Behavioural, Monetary Policy) through a multi-method structural
		identification architecture combining instrumental-variables
		two-stage least squares with channel-specific external
		instruments (Stock and Watson, 2018) doi:10.1111/ecoj.12593,
		LASSO-based instrument selection (Belloni, Chernozhukov and
		Hansen, 2014) doi:10.1093/restud/rdt044, local projections
		(Jorda, 2005) doi:10.1257/0002828053828518, heteroskedasticity-
		based identification (Rigobon, 2003)
		doi:10.1162/003465303772815727, and the Cinelli-Hazlett (2020)
		doi:10.1111/rssb.12348 robustness-value sensitivity bound.
		Bundled datasets and replication scripts reproduce the headline
		findings of Bhandari, Parida and Sahu (2026)
		doi:10.48550/arXiv.2604.26546; the package is general-purpose
		and accommodates user-supplied returns and channel proxies.
