Testing Rockets and Feathers Patterns with a Multivariate Quantile Approach : An Application to the Soybean Complex
Yang, Yao; Karali, Berna - 2023
Output markets usually respond to input price changes asymmetrically, with prices rising faster than they fall, known as the rockets and feathers pattern. We expand the vector autoregressive quantile (VARQ) model by incorporating quantile cointegrating relationships to investigate such...
