Cross-correlations between spot and futures markets of nonferrous metals

In this paper, we investigate cross-correlations between nonferrousmetal spot and futures markets using detrended cross-correlation analysis (DCCA). We find the existence of significant cross-correlations for both return and volatility series. The DCCA-based crosscorrelation coefficients are very high and decrease with the futures maturity increases. Using the multifractal extension of DCCA, th...

Based on the theories of regional economics and industrial economics, the paper analyzed the development of China nonferrous metals industry, made summary of the current research on industrial competitiveness, built an evaluation index system from the four areas: scale competitiveness, market competitiveness, benefit competitiveness and export competitiveness. Then, with the tool of SPSS, the p...

Electrodeposition of Metals and Alloys

Tremendous potential exists for the growth of metal finishing industry in this century through the development of processes that are either environmentally friendly or are applicable at the nano scale. In the CEE the theoretical and experimental studies are performed to achieve such coatings. Nanostructured alloys and innovative composite materials were developed through adaptation of existing ...

Corrosion of Metals and Alloys

Although all metals are subjected to the general oxidation reaction (I), the tendencies to ionize differ from metal to metal. When two metals are exposed to an aquenous environment and release electrons according to reaction (I) , an electric potential is induced the standard value of which can be measured when the metals are in 1-molar solutions of their own salts at a predetermined temperatur...
