We consider the model risk inherent in the valuation procedure of fossil power plants. To capture model risk we use risk-capturing functionals, a methodology recently established in a series of papers. As gas-fired power plants are seen as flexible and low-carbon sources of electricity which are...

We examine investments in power generation projects under policy uncertainty, when the investor has the choice between two alternative technologies, a gas-fired plant and a wind plant. Increased risk of subsidy withdrawal reduces the payoff from and postpones investments in the wind technology....

Geopolitical events are widely reported in the press and may influence the risk premium demanded by investors in addition to demand and supply of energy resources. Using the daily geopolitical risk index of Caldara and Iacoviello (2018), we demonstrate that geopolitical risk plays an important...

I examine the information sequential hypothesis in complementary oil markets. Unlike the underreaction hypothesis suggested as an explanation to the lagged negative oil effect of financial return, a sequential information schedule through crude oil and gasoline provides a differential dynamic in...

We construct variance risk premiums for the nine major emerging markets of Brazil, China, India, South Korea, Mexico, Poland, Russia, South Africa, and Taiwan from 2000 to 2017 using the sample-extension methodology in Lynch and Wachter (2013). Both the emerging market and developed market...

This paper examines risk transmission and migration among six US measures of credit and market risk during the full period 2004–2011 period and the 2009–2011 recovery subperiod, with a focus on four sectors related to the highly volatile oil price. There are more long-run equilibrium risk...
