The coronavirus outbreak has caused unprecedented volatility in oil prices. This paper extends previous studies on Value-at-Risk (VaR) by providing extra insights into Expected Shortfall (ES) forecasting over the last decade, including several crises. We introduce a conditional model combined with Cornish–Fisher expansion for ES forecasting. In comparison to widely used models and innovation di...

Oil companies are therefore increasing efforts to locate new sources and, in the face of the large-scale environmental problems caused by the failure of a deep-drilling operation in the Gulf of Mexico, the successful development of Canada's ta...

We present a 21-year-old woman with an oculogyric crisis following the administration of clebopride. Based on the temporal relationship of the administration of clebopride to the occurrence of the event and the absence of other possible etiologies, clebopride is implicated as the cause of this acute oculogyric crisis, despite the fact that a cause-and-effect relationship cannot be confirmed.
