Natural gas is likely to become increasingly important in the future. Understanding the stochastic underpinnings of natural gas prices will be critical, both to policy analysts and to market participants. To this end, we investigate the potential presence of jumps in natural gas spot prices in...

, conventional linear models of price dynamics such as the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) can lead to erroneous inferences … about cointegration relationships, price adjustments and relative values. We propose the use of regime-switching models to … address these issues. Our regime switching model uses price data to infer whether pricing is oil-driven (integrated) or gas …

In this paper we investigate the time-varying relationship between oil and natural gas in the UK. We develop a model where relative prices can move between pricing-regimes; markets switch between being decoupled and integrated. Our model endogenously accounts for periods where oil and natural...

The Russian gas market is highly regulated. In this paper we examine possible impacts of regulatory changes on the demand side of this market. In particular, we consider the effects on Russian energy consumers of removing natural gas subsidies, and how changes in Russian gas consumption may...

Time series of Norwegian … prices for gas to Germany move proportionally over time, indicating an integrated gas market (the Law of One Price holds). We …. Among the explanatory factors for price discrepancies are differences in volume flexibility (swing) and perceived political …

In a formal model, we show that such a transfer scheme … overcome this adverse effect of the gas price brake. An equivalent critique applies to the electricity price brake that is to …

This paper aims to assess the role of expectations as a determinant of the real price of natural gas. To measure … expectations, especially when measured as functional shocks, lead to strong and persistent increases in the real price of natural … gas. A shock decomposition exercise shows that the price of natural gas responds primarily to changes in the curvature of …
