In this paper we propose a novel self-exciting jump diffusion model for oil price dynamics based on a Hawkes-type jump-diffusion process. In particular, the jump intensity is stochastic and path dependent, implying that the occurrence of a jump will increase the probability of observing a new...

This paper presents new results on the identification of heteroskedastic structural vector autoregressive (HSVAR) models. Point identification of HSVAR models fails when some shifts in the variances of the structural shocks are suspected to be statistically indistinguishable from each other....

We propose a novel and numerically efficient quantification approach to forecast uncertainty of the real price of oil using a combination of probabilistic individual model forecasts. Our combination method extends earlier approaches that have been applied to oil price forecasting, by allowing...

This paper examines the effect of different dimensions of uncertainty on expectations of WTI crude oil futures momentum traders at a daily level. We consider two concepts of uncertainty and two momentum trading indicators based on technical analysis. In addition, we also use wavelet techniques...

Electricity demand is modeled as a time-varying parameters (TVP) vector autoegression with or without imposing cointegration. The paper applies Bayesian strategies where all or a part of the parameters are allowed to vary, and compares their forecasts performances with alternative time series...

A<b> </b>new short-term probabilistic forecasting method is proposed to predict the probability density function of the hourly active power generated by a photovoltaic system. Firstly, the probability density function of the hourly clearness index is forecasted making use of a Bayesian auto regressive...

This paper analyzes Structural Vector Autoregressions (SVARs) where identification of structural parameters holds locally but not globally. In this case there exists a set of isolated structural parameter points that are observationally equivalent under the imposed restrictions. Although the...
