Detective volatility changes across the oil sector

Article Abstract:

Sudden changes in the variance of financial time series are important in understanding the price sensitivity and hedging risks of options and futures contracts. An iterated cumulative sums-of-squares methodology is employed in determining points and the magnitude of sudden changes in the unconditional variance. Sudden changes in variance in three sets of financial time series are studied. A daily return series from a portfolio of oil-producing companies is also examined to test if volatility changes affect the oil futures market and the stocks of oil-producing companies.
