Commodity Price Crash Risk and Crash Risk Contagion

Journal of Futures Markets
ABSTRACTIn this study, we propose measures for the risk of commodity price crash. Building on the recent phenomenon of financialization of commodities, we advocate the use of down‐to‐up volatility (DUVOL) and a negative coefficient of skewness (NCSKEW) using 1‐min and daily data, respectively. We find that the crash risk is the highest for natural gas,

VEHICLE SPEED AND RISK OF A SEVERE CRASH

Epidemiology, 1995
We examined the relation between the speed of passenger cars and risk of involvement in a severe crash, in an urban setting, using a case-control study. "Cases" were 45 vehicles involved in severe crashes in the Adelaide metropolitan area; we determined their pre-crash speeds using accident reconstruction techniques.

Roadway crash risks in recent immigrants

Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2011
Adult immigrants are sometimes characterized as unsafe drivers and responsible for excess road crashes. We analyzed Canada's largest and most ethnically diverse province to assess whether recent immigrants had an increased risk of involvement as drivers in serious motor vehicle crashes.

Assessing the risk of secondary crashes on highways

Journal of Safety Research, 2014
The occurrence of "secondary crashes" is one of the critical yet understudied highway safety issues. Induced by the primary crashes, the occurrence of secondary crashes does not only increase traffic delays but also the risk of inducing additional incidents.

Reducing young driver crash risk

Injury Prevention, 2002
The future is bright for reducing teen crash risk Given the dominance of private motor vehicles as the primary mode of transportation in the United States, and the country’s long romance with cars and roads, it is not surprising that obtaining a drivers license is an important milestone in the lives of most teenagers.

Pedal cyclists, crash helmets and risk

Public Health, 1991
As a rate per million kilometres travelled, the 'risk' of cycling appears to be high in relation to other forms of transport. Yet, in absolute numbers, there are far fewer cyclist deaths than pedestrian or motor vehicle occupant deaths, and most deaths and serious injuries to pedal cyclists are caused by other road users--principally motor vehicles ...

Declines in fatal crashes of older drivers: Changes in crash risk and survivability

Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2011
Previous research has found that older driver fatal crash involvement rates per licensed driver declined substantially in the United States during 1997-2006 and declined much faster than the rate for middle-age drivers. The current study examined whether the larger-than-expected decline for older drivers extended to nonfatal crashes and whether the ...

Politics and Crash Risk

We examine whether firm-level political risk increases stock price crash risk and whether this effect varies with firms’ political orientation. Using a large sample of U.S. publicly traded firms over 18 years, we find that political risk significantly increases crash risk, with strong heterogeneity across firms.

Personality and Crash Risk

2015
Personality characteristics are associated with many risk behaviors. However, the relationship between personality traits, risky driving behavior, and crash risk is poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between personality, risky driving behavior, and crashes and near-crashes, using naturalistic driving research ...
