Modeling Asymmetric Volatility In Oil Prices

The Asymmetric Impact of Oil Prices on Gasoline Prices

A Maximal Affine Stochastic Volatility Model of Oil Prices

This study develops and estimates a stochastic volatility model of commodity prices that nests many of the previous models in the literature. The model is an affine three-factor model with one state variable driving the volatility and is maximal among all such models that are also identifiable. The model leads to quasianalytical formulas for futures and options prices. It allows for time-varyin...

modeling asymmetric price volatility for tehran province’s chicken market

the price fluctuations of chicken and its production inputs are one of the main challenges in broiler industry which affects the producer and consumer‘s welfare. this study investigates the price fluctuations of broiler and the price fluctuations of the two important inputs of broiler production -e.g. one day-old chick and soybean meal- in tehran province. to achieve the purpose, the non-linear...

Modelling the Effects of Oil Prices on Global Fertilizer Prices and Volatility

The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effect of crude oil price on global fertilizer prices in both the mean and volatility. The endogenous structural breakpoint unit root test, ARDL model, and alternative volatility models, including GARCH, EGARCH, and GJR models, are used to investigate the relationship between crude oil price and six global fertilizer prices. The empirical result...

Realized Volatility in Noisy Prices: a MSRV approach

Volatility is the primary measure of risk in modern finance and volatility estimation and inference has attracted substantial attention in the recent financial econometric literature, especially in high-frequency analyses. High-frequency prices carry a significant amount of noise. Therefore, there are two volatility components embedded in the returns constructed using high frequency prices: the...
