Pricing carbon is a central concern in environmental economics, due to the worldwide importance of emissions trading schemes to regulate pollution.

This paper investigates the relationship between trading volume and price volatility in the crude oil and natural gas futures markets when using high-frequency data. By regressing various realized volatility measures (with/without jumps) on trading volume and trading frequency, our results...

Overview: The oil-gas relationship is investigated using recent econometric methodology based on a factor analysis and a proper analysis of correlation in residuals. Our methodology allows bypassing the two main issues when dealing with the question of comovement. First, it is important to...

We proceed to an impulse response analysis on the conditional correlations between three stock indices returns: the Nikkei, the FTSE 100 and the S&P 500. As a first step, we estimate an extension of the general asymmetric dynamic conditional correlation (GADCC) model proposed by Cappiello,...

We investigate the macro factors that can explain the monthly oil futures return for the NYMEX WTI futures contract for the time period 1993:11 to 2010:03. We build a new database of 187 real and nominal macroeconomic variables from developed and emerging countries and resort to the large factor...

We empirically reinvestigate the issue of excess comovement of commodity prices initially raised in Pindyck and Rotemberg (1990) and show that excess comovement, when it exists, can be related to hedging and speculative pressure in commodity futures markets. Excess comovement appears when...

The estimation of the jump component in asset pricing has witnessed a considerably growing body of literature. Of particular interest is the decomposition of total volatility between its continuous and jump components. Recent contributions highlight the importance of the jump component in...

Forecasting the density of returns is useful for many purposes in finance, such as risk manage- ment activities, portfolio choice or derivative security pricing. Existing methods to forecast the den- sity of returns either use prices of the asset of interest or option prices on this same asset....

In this paper, we first provide empirical evidence of the existence of intraday jumps in the crude oil price series. We then show that these jumps, in conjunction with realized volatility measures, are important in modeling the convenience yield over the 2001-2010 period. Our empirical results...
