Futures Commodity Prices and Electricity and Utility Stock Prices, 2005
The objective of the project was to provide econometric analysis and theory for modelling energy and soft commodity prices. This necessitated data analysis and modelling together with theoretical econometrics, dealing with the specific stylised facts of commodity prices. In order to analyse energy and soft commodity prices, the determination of spot energy prices in regulated markets was first considered, from the point of view of the regulator. Direct data analysis of futures commodity prices was then undertaken, resulting in the collection of an extensive dataset of most traded futures commodity prices at a daily frequency, covering 16 different commodities over a 10-year period. The commodities covered include electricity, oil, gas and other commodities, including coffee, cocoa, sugar, cereal and pulse crops. Other energy utility company details are also included in the data.
