Abstract
This study examines the relationship between the unexpected changes in earnings and the shipping market movements. The econometric method of variance decomposition proposed by Campbell (1991) is employed to empirically analyze the Panamax and Capesize markets. We find that a large proportion of unexpected earnings growth is related to news about returns that indicate subsequent price changes. The results provide important insights to practice for sustaining shipping businesses, which helps shipping companies make better investment and risk-management decisions. The contribution of this research is to deepen the understanding of the interaction between shocks to earnings growth, returns, and price–charter ratios in the present-value context.
期刊介绍：
The purpose of the journal is also to stimulate international dialog among academics, industry participants, traders, investors, and policymakers with mutual interests in commodity markets. The mandate for the journal is to present ongoing work within commodity economics and finance. Topics can be related to financialization of commodity markets; pricing, hedging, and risk analysis of commodity derivatives; risk premia in commodity markets; real option analysis for commodity project investment and production; portfolio allocation including commodities; forecasting in commodity markets; corporate finance for commodity-exposed corporations; econometric/statistical analysis of commodity markets; organization of commodity markets; regulation of commodity markets; local and global commodity trading; and commodity supply chains. Commodity markets in this context are energy markets (including renewables), metal markets, mineral markets, agricultural markets, livestock and fish markets, markets for weather derivatives, emission markets, shipping markets, water, and related markets. This interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary journal will cover all commodity markets and is thus relevant for a broad audience. Commodity markets are not only of academic interest but also highly relevant for many practitioners, including asset managers, industrial managers, investment bankers, risk managers, and also policymakers in governments, central banks, and supranational institutions.
