This study uses single-equation dynamic models to estimate petrol demand in India. Estimated long-run elasticities are higher than their short-run counterparts, which is in line with expectations based on the existing literature. We find price elasticities of -0.418 (long-run) and -0.189 (short...

We construct a representative index of largest Indian energy companies listed on the National Stock Exchange (NIFTY 50). We test for presence of regimes, non-linearities, and jumps in the price signal. We benchmark performance against alternative models, including single-regime models and models...

In a recent contribution to the financial econometrics literature, Chu et al. (2017) provide the first examination of the time-series price behaviour of the most popular cryptocurrencies. However, insufficient attention was paid to correctly diagnosing the distribution of GARCH innovations. When...

A regime-switching Levy framework, where all parameter values depend on the value of a continuous time Markov chain as per Chevallier and Goutte (2017), is employed to study US Corporate Option-Adjusted Spreads (OASs). For modelling purposes we assume a Normal Inverse Gaussian distribution,...

This study explores the relationship between R&D intensity, as a measure of innovation, and financial performance among S&P 500 companies over 100 quarters from 1998 to 2023, including multiple crisis periods. It challenges the conventional wisdom that larger companies are more prone to...

We employ a little-used dataset to study the Japan's Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) market. We make use of copula theory and test for dependence between equity and REIT returns using several popular copula families. The copula families in our specification were: Gaussian, Student-t,...
