This article examines causality in volatility spillover (causality-in-variance) for the six major European government bond markets. Using tests of temporal causality and directed acyclic graphs, we find evidence of contemporaneous causality-in-variance, indicating that volatility spillover in the government bond markets is a short-lived phenomenon. However, we find no evidence of contemporaneous causality-in-mean for bond index returns. The tests reveal that the markets are bidirectionally linked, and reasonably well integrated.
