    • Oil and political survival 

      Andersen, Jørgen Juel; Aslaksen, Silje (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Political economy theories on the “natural resource curse” predict that natural resource wealth is a determining factor for the length of time political leaderships remain in office. Whether resource wealth leads to longer ...
    • Oil and the Stock Market Revisited: A mixed functional VAR approach 

      Bjørnland, Hilde C.; Chang, Yoosoon; Cross, Jamie L. (CAMP Working Paper Series;03/2023, Working paper, 2023-03-13)
      This paper proposes a new mixed vector autoregression (MVAR) model to examine the relationship between aggregate time series and functional variables in a multivariate setting. The model facilitates a re examination of the ...
    • Oil and US GDP: A Real-Time Out-of Sample Examination 

      Ravazzolo, Francesco; Rothman, Philip (CAMP Working Paper Series;2/2011, Working paper, 2011)
      We study the real-time predictive content of crude oil prices for US real GDP growth through a pseudo out-of-sample (OOS) forecasting exercise. Comparing our benchmark model "without oil" against alternatives "with oil," ...
    • Oil price density forecasts: Exploring the linkages with stock markets 

      Lombardi, Marco; Ravazzolo, Francesco (CAMP Working Paper Series;3/2012, Working paper, 2012)
      In the recent years several commentators hinted at an increase of the correlation between equity and commodity prices, and blamed investment in commodity-related products for this. First, this paper investigates such ...

      Visur, Emma Charlotte; Tajamal, Zara (Master thesis, 2017)

      Srithara, Mithushan Ima; Bjertnæs, Johannes (Master thesis, 2023)
      In this paper, we compare the effects of two demand shocks to macroeconomic variables for the mainland economy and five different sectors of Norway, by using a Structural Vector Autoregressive (SVAR) model. The two structural ...
    • Oil Price Shocks and Conflict Escalation: Onshore versus Offshore 

      Andersen, Jørgen Juel; Nordvik, Frode Martin; Tesei, Andrea (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
