We employ the R-vine copula approach to study the dependence structures among non-ferrous metal commodity futures on the London Metal Exchange, focusing on the comparison before and after the 2008 financial crisis. We document that the center of dependence structure among non-ferrous metal...

This is the first comprehensive study on the forecasting of the realized volatility of non-ferrous metal futures. Based on 8.5 years of intraday data on copper, zinc, nickel, lead and aluminum, we explore a variety of extensions of the univariate heterogeneous autoregressive (HAR) model and seek...

The BAT reference document (BREF) entitled 'Non-Ferrous Metals Industries' forms part of a series presenting the results of an exchange of information between EU Member States, the industries concerned, non-governmental organisations promoting environmental protection, and the Commission, to...

In this paper we model the dynamics of 100 years long monthly price series of eight non-ferrous and precious metals. Applying the state space framework we impose and identify two common factors related to non-ferrous and precious metals, respectively, which exhibit quite distinct autoregressive...
