TLDR
This article used multivariate volatility models to investigate the relationship between the price of oil and the level of economic activity, focusing on the role of uncertainty about oil prices, using a fully specified multivariate framework, based on both structural and reduced form VARs that are modified to accommodate GARCH-in-Mean errors.Abstract:
The relationship between the price of oil and the level of economic activity is a fundamental issue in macroeconomics. There is an ongoing debate in the literature about whether positive oil price shocks cause recessions in the United States (and other oil-importing countries), and although there exists a vast empirical literature that investigates the effects of oil price shocks, there are relatively few studies that investigate the direct effects of uncertainty about oil prices on the real economy. The book uses recent advances in macroeconomics and financial economics to investigate the effects of oil price shocks and uncertainty about the price of oil on the level of economic activity. Contents: Introduction Univariate Volatility Models Multivariate Volatility Models Oil Price Uncertainty The Asymmetric Effects of Oil Price Shocks Evidence from Canada Readership: Scholars & industry professionals interested in the effects of oil pricing. Key Features: The book uses multivariate volatility models to investigate the relationship between the price of oil and the level of economic activity, focusing on the role of uncertainty about oil prices It uses a fully specified multivariate framework, based on both structural and reduced form VARs that are modified to accommodate GARCH-in-Mean errors It investigates the robustness of the results to i) alternative measures of the price of oil, ii) alternative measures of the level of economic activity, and iii) alternative data frequencies and model specificationsread more

Oil price shocks and global imbalances: Lessons from a model with trade and financial interdependencies
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate oil price shocks' effects and their associated transmission channels on global imbalances and show that the main adjustment mechanism to oil shocks is based on the trade channel, the valuation channel being at play only on the short run.

Oil price uncertainty, monetary policy and the macroeconomy: The Canadian perspective
TL;DR: The authors revisited the link between oil price uncertainty and macroeconomy in the context of a net oil exporting country, Canada, and found that higher price uncertainty significantly decreases both output and price levels, resembling an adverse demand shock.

News spillovers from the Greek debt crisis: Impact on the Eurozone financial sector
TL;DR: The authors examined the impact of changes in Greek sovereign yield spreads on abnormal returns of financial sector stocks for a sample of Eurozone countries, during the Greek debt crisis, and found that increases in yield spreads are associated with negative abnormal returns on financial stocks in Portugal, Spain and Netherlands.

How does the Chinese economy react to uncertainty in international crude oil prices
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the dynamic impacts of uncertainty in international crude oil prices on the Chinese economy and found that an increase in volatility in oil prices tends to reduce the real gross domestic product (GDP) and investment, which in turn encourages the Chinese government to stabilize the economy through expansionary fiscal and monetary policy.

Time-varying rare disaster risks, oil returns and volatility
TL;DR: In this article, a nonparametric quantile-based methodology was used to predict rare disaster risks for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil market returns and volatility over the monthly period of 1918:01-2013:12.

Autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity with estimates of the variance of United Kingdom inflation
TL;DR: In this article, a new class of stochastic processes called autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic (ARCH) processes are introduced, which are mean zero, serially uncorrelated processes with nonconstant variances conditional on the past, but constant unconditional variances.

Multivariate Simultaneous Generalized ARCH
TL;DR: In this paper, a new parameterization of the multivariate ARCH process is proposed and equivalence relations are discussed for the various ARCH parameterizations, and conditions suffcient to guarantee the positive deffniteness of the covariance matrices are developed.

Oil and the Macroeconomy since World War II
TL;DR: The authors found that all but one of the U.S. recessions since World War II have been preceded, typically with a lag of around three-fourths of a year, by a dramatic increase in the price of crude petroleum.

Not All Oil Price Shocks are Alike: Disentangling Demand and Supply Shocks in the Crude Oil Market
Lutz Kilian,Lutz Kilian +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a structural decomposition of the real price of crude oil in four components is proposed: oil supply shocks driven by political events in OPEC countries; other oil supply shock; aggregate shocks to the demand for industrial commodities; and demand shocks that are specific to the crude oil market.

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that continuous time arbitrage and stochastic control theory may be used not only to value such projects but also to determine the optimal policies for developing, managing, and abandoning them.
