We study whether the spatial distribution of natural resources across different ethnic groups within countries impede spatial inequality, national economic performance, and the incidence of armed conflict. By providing a theoretical rent-seeking model and analysing a set of geocoded data for...

In this paper we investigate the time-varying relationship between oil and natural gas in the UK. We develop a model … endogenously accounts for periods where oil and natural gas temporarily decouple due to gas specific pricing. We show that gas … the time of the year. Most of the reversion back to oil occurs in spring and summer when demand for gas to heating and …

A new procedure to trace the sources of contagion in the oil-finance nexus is proposed. We do this by consolidating … veteran rules derived from the empirical oil literature to filter oil supply, global demand, and oil demand shocks into … for systemic risk assessment in countries vulnerable to oil market shocks.

We analyse the drivers of European Power Exchange (EPEX) wholesale electricity prices between 2012 and early 2022 using machine learning. The agnostic random forest approach that we use is able to reduce in-sample root mean square errors (RMSEs) by around 50% when compared to a standard linear...

When natural gas prices are subject to periodic decoupling from oil prices, for instance due to peak-load pricing … address these issues. Our regime switching model uses price data to infer whether pricing is oil-driven (integrated) or gas …-specific (decoupled). We find that UK natural gas (ICE) and oil (Brent) are cointegrated for the majority of the sample considered (1997 …
