Causality and Price Discovery: An Application of Directed Acyclic Graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAG's) and Error Correction Models (ECM's) are employed to analyze questions of price discovery between spatially separated commodity markets and the transportation market linking them together. Results from our analysis suggest these markets are highly interconnected but it is the inland commodity market that is strongly influenced by both the transportation and commodity export markets. However, the commodity markets affect the volatility of the transportation market over longer horizons. Our results suggest that transportation rates are critical in the price discovery process lending support for the recent development of exchange traded barge rate futures contracts.

In this study the causality relationship among variables in chicken and beef markets were investigated based on annual data from 1974 to 2004 in the I.S. of Iran. For this purpose, causality algorithms emerging from directed acyclic graphs were used in two cases, one based on co- integration analysis and innovation correlation matrix of Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) and the other using d...

متن کاملSparse Directed Acyclic Word Graphs
The suffix tree of string w is a text indexing structure that represents all suffixes ofw. A sparse suffix tree ofw represents only a subset of suffixes of w. An application to sparse suffix trees is composite pattern discovery from biological sequences. In this paper, we introduce a new data structure named sparse directed acyclic word graphs (SDAWGs), which are a sparse text indexing version ...
متن کاملMinimal Sufficient Causation and Directed Acyclic Graphs
Notions of minimal sufficient causation are incorporated within the directed acyclic graph causal framework. Doing so allows for the graphical representation of sufficient causes and minimal sufficient causes on causal directed acyclic graphs while maintaining all of the properties of causal directed acyclic graphs. This in turn provides a clear theoretical link between two major conceptualizat...
متن کاملLearning Acyclic Directed Mixed Graphs from Observations and Interventions
We introduce a new family of mixed graphical models that consists of graphs with possibly directed, undirected and bidirected edges but without directed cycles. Moreover, there can be up to three edges between any pair of nodes. The new family includes Richardson’s acyclic directed mixed graphs, as well as Andersson-Madigan-Perlman chain graphs. These features imply that no family of mixed grap...
