Machine Learning Approaches to Forecast the Realized Volatility of Crude Oil Prices
Journal of Forecasting, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper presents an evaluation of the accuracy of machine learning (ML) techniques in forecasting the realized volatility of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil prices. We compare several ML algorithms, including regularization, regression trees, random forests, and neural networks, to several heterogeneous autoregressive (HAR) models ...

Tricks with the lorenz curve [PDF]
This note develops, for the Gini coefficient of inequality, a very simple generalization that directly incorporates judgments on ‘relative inter-group inequality aversion' by making the inequality measure sensitive to the skewness of the Lorenz curve ...

Revisiting the Impact of Foreign Direct Investment on Crime: A Global Analysis
International Studies of Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Drawing upon extensive literature on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) spillovers, we hypothesize that FDI inflow represents a double‐edged sword with respect to crime in host countries. On one hand, FDI can contribute to economic growth and social well‐being by infusing capital and knowledge into the host countries, thereby potentially ...
