This study examines price discovery among the two most prominent price benchmarks in the market for crude oil, WTI sweet crude and Brent sweet crude. Using data on the most active futures contracts measured at the one-second frequency, we find that WTI maintains a dominant role in price discovery relative to Brent, with an estimated information share in excess of 80%, over a sample from 2007 through 2012. Our analysis is robust to different decompositions of the sample, over pit-trading sessions and non-pit trading sessions, segmentation of days associated with major economic news releases, and data measured to the millisecond. We find no evidence that the dominant role of WTI in price discovery is diminished by the price spread between Brent that emerged in 2008.

Analytical results are presented that drastically simplify joint estimation of the APT by Non-linear SUR and maximum likelihood when the factors are measured. Four alternative analytical expressions for calculating standard errors are also presented.Please see published version in Economics Letters for full text and equations.

This paper investigates the extent to which observable macroeconomic factors can explain the time-varying risk premia in the short-end of the term structure. The empirical model we employ is motivated by a dynamic asset pricing model with time-invariant reward-to-risk measures and time-varying risk premia. Our results indicate that two factors, based innovations in the federal funds rate and shifts in the yield curve, explain up to 65% of the temporal variation in Treasury bill returns. We also find that shifts in the yield curve factor may explain some time-variation in risk premia at the very short end of the term structure, and that the federal funds rate factor may be weakly linked to the time-varying risk premia over the post-1966 sample, when the federal funds market first began to function as a major source of bank liquidity. This latter result, however, is somewhat sensitive to the sample period.

We reexamine commodity futures returns for evidence of fractional integration utilizing two estimators based on wavelets. We summarize basic wavelet methods for signal processing and decompose commodity futures returns by wavelet scale. We find the evidence for long memory is not conclusive based on visual inspection of the wavelet decomposition, but formal statistical tests suggest evidence of long memory, in the form of anti-persistence, in about half of agricultural commodity futures. We find little evidence of long memory in metal futures. Our results are useful in interpreting previous disparate findings based on frequency domain estimators.

Due to measurement errors, transmission lost, or injected noise for privacy protection, uncertainty exists in the data of many real applications. However, query processing techniques for deterministic data cannot be directly applied to uncertain data because they do not have mechanisms to handle data uncertainty. Therefore, efficient and effective manipulation of uncertain data is a practical yet challenging research topic. In this book, we start from the data models for imprecise and uncertain data, move on to defining different semantics for queries on uncertain data, and finally discuss the advanced query processing techniques for various probabilistic queries in uncertain databases. The book serves as a comprehensive guideline for query processing over uncertain databases. Table of Contents: Introduction / Uncertain Data Models / Spatial Query Semantics over Uncertain Data Models / Spatial Query Processing over Uncertain Databases / Conclusion.
