Abstract
This paper explores the role of network spillovers in commodity market forecasting and proposes a novel factor-augmented dynamic network model. We focus on a novel network definition based on investors’ attention to commodities, positing that commodities exhibit spillovers if they share a similar level of interest. To this aim, we employ Google Trends search data as an instrumental measure for attention. The results reveal that including attention-driven spillovers significantly enhances the forecasting accuracy of commodity returns.
期刊介绍:
Studies directed toward the more effective utilization of existing resources, e.g. mathematical programming models of health care delivery systems with relevance to more effective program design; systems analysis of fire outbreaks and its relevance to the location of fire stations; statistical analysis of the efficiency of a developing country economy or industry.
Studies relating to the interaction of various segments of society and technology, e.g. the effects of government health policies on the utilization and design of hospital facilities; the relationship between housing density and the demands on public transportation or other service facilities: patterns and implications of urban development and air or water pollution.
Studies devoted to the anticipations of and response to future needs for social, health and other human services, e.g. the relationship between industrial growth and the development of educational resources in affected areas; investigation of future demands for material and child health resources in a developing country; design of effective recycling in an urban setting.
