Unit Root Behavior in Energy Futures Prices

Apostolos Serletis

The Energy Journal, 1992, vol. Volume 13, issue Number 2, 119-128

Abstract: This paper re-examines the empirical evidence for random walk type behavior in energy futures prices. In doing so, tests for unit roots in the univariate time-series representation of the daily crude oil, heating oil, and unleaded gasoline series are performed using recent state-of-the-art methodology. The results show that the unit root hypothesis can be rejected if allowance is made for the possibility of a one-time break in the intercept and the slope of the trend function at an unknown point in time.
