In the recent years several commentators hinted at an increase of the correlation between equity and commodity prices … various measures of correlation. Next, we assess what are the implications of higher correlations between oil and equity … prices for asset allocation. We develop a time-varying Bayesian Dynamic Conditional Correlation model for volatilities and …
