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

Crude Oil Prices and COVID-19: Persistence of the Shock
Luis A. Gil-Alana,Manuel Monge +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the COVID-19 crisis on crude oil prices was investigated by using long memory techniques, showing that the oil price series is highly persistent with an order of integration of 084, displaying mean reversion.

Forecasting oil price realized volatility using information channels from other asset classes
TL;DR: The authors assess whether cross-market volatility flows contain important information that can improve the accuracy of oil price realized volatility forecasting and find strong evidence that the use of the different information channels enhances the predictive accuracy of realized volatility at all forecasting horizons.

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.

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.
