Oil Price Uncertainty
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

The Asymmetric Effects of Oil Price Shocks on the Chinese Stock Market: Evidence from a Quantile Impulse Response Perspective
TL;DR: The authors used a quantile impulse response approach to investigate the impact of oil price shocks on Chinese stock returns and found that the responses of Chinese stock market returns to oil price shock differ greatly, depending on whether the oil and stock market is in a bust or boom state and whether the shock is driven by demand or supply.

The Oil Price-Macroeconomy Relationship Since the Mid- 1980s: A Global Perspective
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between oil price and macroeconomy from a global perspective, by means of a large scale macro-financial-econometric model.

Is the oil price–output relation asymmetric? ☆
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the relationship between the real price of oil and industrial production for the G-7 countries, using post-1973 data, and find that the response of the industrial production growth rate to positive and negative oil price shocks is symmetric.

Hedging Macroeconomic and Financial Uncertainty and Volatility
TL;DR: The authors study the pricing of shocks to uncertainty and volatility using a wide-ranging set of options contracts covering a variety of different markets and find that the return premium for gamma is negative, while that for vega is positive.

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.

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.
