As new alternative energy industries are created and old ones are revised, markets constantly try to interpret and adjust to those changes. The purpose of this study is to shed some light on the inner dynamics of the select outside price-shocks versus sector-specific energy companies. This study analyzes the inner dynamics (both short and long-term) of sub-sector energy company portfolios such as petroleum, coal, natural gas, solar, nuclear, wind, and biofuel with respect to each other as well as other asset markets commonly used in literature. In light of outside shocks, we find that some alternative energy companies behave like fossil-fuel companies, whileothers don’t. Interestingly petroleum companies give no significant short-term response to oil-price orexchange-rate shocks. Also, there is a significant relationship between gold price shocks and most energy sub-sectors in the long-run. The same relationship was not observed in the short-run.

Optimum daily operation of a wind-hydro hybrid system Ercan, Eray; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin (2022-06-01) © 2022 Elsevier LtdDue to the negative effects of fossil fuels on the environment and health, energy supply is shifting towards renewables. The integration of renewable energy systems is challenging due to the intermittent nature of renewables, however this can be mitigated through storage. Uncertainty in electricity prices in spot markets further complicates the operation of these systems. Pumped storage hydropower is currently the most viable form of large-scale energy storage, and operation of renewable ...
Volatility transmission between energy-related asset classes Gormus, N. Alper; Soytaş, Uğur; Diltz, J. David (2014-01-01) Energy companies, alternative or traditional, have been in the center of both financial and political debates during the last few years all around the world. Extensive crises related to fossil fuel resources have triggered the creation of brand new sources while the further development of already-in-use alternative sources is highly encouraged. Energy portfolios are important tools in most investor strategies and the way to incorporate new alternative energy companies in those portfolios has been a large pa...
Volatility Spillover from Oil to Food and Agricultural Raw Material Markets Kaltalıoğlu, Müge; Soytaş, Uğur (2011-05-01) The upward movement in oil and food prices in the 2000s has attracted interest in the information transmission mechanism between the two markets. This paper investigates the volatility spillover between oil, food consumption item, and agricultural raw material price indexes for the period January 1980 to April 2008.The results of the Cheung-Ng procedure show that variation in oil prices does not Granger cause the variance in food and agricultural raw material prices. Since there is no volatility spillover f...
ARIMA forecasting of primary energy demand by fuel in Turkey Ediger, Volkan S.; Akar, Sertac (2007-03-01) Forecasting of energy demand in emerging markets is one of the most important policy tools used by the decision makers all over the world. In Turkey, most of the early studies used include various forms of econometric modeling. However, since the estimated economic and demographic parameters usually deviate from the realizations, time-series forecasting appears to give better results. In this study, we used the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and seasonal ARIMA (SARIMA) methods to estimate ...
Asymmetric pass-through between oil prices and the stock prices of clean energy firms: New evidence from a nonlinear analysis Kocaarslan, Baris; Soytaş, Uğur (2019-11-01) There is an ongoing debate on how oil prices affect the stock prices of clean energy companies. We contribute to this debate by questioning the possibility of asymmetric linkages between oil prices, interest rates, and the stock prices of clean energy and technology firms. Using a recently developed approach (nonlinear auto-regressive distributed lag (NARDL) model), we document that ignoring the presence of nonlinearities leads to misleading results. The analyses reveal significant asymmetric effects among ...
