We analyse the drivers of European Power Exchange (EPEX) wholesale electricity prices between 2012 and early 2022 using machine learning. The agnostic random forest approach that we use is able to reduce in-sample root mean square errors (RMSEs) by around 50% when compared to a standard linear...

Herein we more accurately capture the cointegrating relationship between natural gas and crude oil prices by controlling for nonstationarity induced by endogenous changes in regime. Specifically, we allow the cointegrating equation to switch between m states, according to a first-order Markov...
