This paper analyzes the short-term dynamics of the prices of CO2 emissions, using the vector autoregression (VAR) and the vector error-correction Models (VECM). The data are monthly for the prices of oil, coal, natural gas, electricity and carbon emission allowances. The results show that: (i) a...

We use the recently developed nonlinear autoregressive distributed lags (NARDL) model to examine the pass-through of changes in crude oil prices, natural gas prices, coal prices and electricity prices to the CO2 emission allowance prices. This approach allows one to simultaneously test the...

This study examines the effects of the monetary policy of the United States on commodity prices. Using a Bayesian Structural VAR, we identify the interest rate shocks as a measure of the stance of the U.S. mon- etary policy and evaluate their impacts on different types of commodity prices. The...

This paper examines the effects of the monetary policy of China on commodity prices. Using a Bayesian Structural VAR, we identify shocks to the interest rate as a price rule and to the monetary aggregate (M2) as a quantity rule, and then evaluate their impacts on commodity prices. Those prices...

This paper shows that fluctuations in the U.S. equity returns signal information about the behavior of the returns of energy, metal and agricultural commodity futures. We find that asymmetry plays an important role in this relationship. In addition, while asymmetry seems to be more relevant for...

Past studies suggest that the Islamic Â…nance system is only weakly linked or even de- coupled from conventional markets. If this statement is true, then this system may provide a cushion against potential losses resulting from probable future Â…nancial crises. In this article, we make use...

This paper explores the relevance of asymmetry and long memory in modeling and forecasting the

In this article, we show how the copula-GARCH approach can be appro- priately used to investigate the conditional dependence structure between the crude oil and natural gas markets as well as to derive implications for port- folio risk management in extreme economic conditions. Using daily price...

This paper examines the dependence structure between the emerging stock markets of the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) and influential global factors (the S&P 500 index, the commodity markets, the global stock market uncertainty and the US economic policy...

This article investigates the potential of nonlinear causal relationships between world oil prices and stock markets in MENA countries during a black swan period that is characterized by rarity and devastating impacts. By using the nonlinear and asymmetric causality test of Kyrtsou and Labys...
