This draft is a summary of the paper entitled: Forecasting Fuel Prices with the Chilean Exchange Rate. In that paper we show that the Chilean exchange rate has the ability to predict the returns of oil prices and of three additional oil-related products: gasoline, propane and heating oil. The...

The properties (e.g. volatility, skewness, kurtosis, Value …-at-Risk, Expected Shortfall) of the new class are obtained as functions of the underlying volatility and zero probability models. For a …

In this paper we show that survey-based-expectations about the future evolution of the Chilean exchange rate have the ability to predict the returns of the six primary non-ferrous metals: aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, tin and zinc. Predictability is also found for returns of the London Metal...

In this paper we show that the exchange rates of some commodity exporter countries have the ability to predict the price of spot and future contracts of aluminum. This is shown with both in-sample and out-of-sample analyses. The theoretical underpinning of these results relies on the...

Estimation of large financial volatility models is plagued by the curse of dimensionality: As the dimension grows … variables (``X") are added to each volatility equation. In particular, the problem is especially acute for non …-exponential volatility models (e.g. GARCH models), since there the variables and parameters are restricted to be positive. Here, we propose …
