Forecasting the Oil-gasoline Price Relationship: Should We Care about the Rockets and the Feathers?
Bastianin, Andrea; Galeotti, Marzio; Manera, Matteo - 2014
According to the Rockets and Feathers hypothesis (RFH), the transmission mechanism of positive and negative changes in the price of crude oil to the price of gasoline is asymmetric. Although there have been many contributions documenting that downstream prices are more reactive to increases than...
