Can climate signals help investors make sharper moves in volatile commodity markets? This study explores how weather-related risk, specifically the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), can be used to improve portfolio performance. We incorporate the Oceanic Niño Index (ONI) into a Random Forest forecasting model to capture the complex, non-linear effects of climate anomalies on commodity returns -

It is very important for an investor to choose an accurate and effective risk measure when optimizing a portfolio of different assets. Recently, in addition to the standard risk measures such as variance or Value-at-Risk (VaR), more developed risk measures have emerged and one of them is the entropic Value-at-Risk (EVaR). This paper is testing the hypothesis stated by Ahmadi-Javid and Fallah-Tafti
In this thesis an empirical model for optimal production of North Sea oil is implemented for the purpose of evaluation in a contemporary context. The model was presented by Pesaran in 1990 and is one of dynamic optimization where a price-taking producer faces a maximization problem subject to constraints describing production conditions. The model along with some background research is initially p
In order to halt current resource depletion and minimise environmental destruction, we need to reduce our dependency on virgin raw materials. There is a growing political consensus in the EU that we have to move away from our current linear economic system to one that is based on closing material loops, a circular economy. There is therefore a great need for new business models based on for exampl

The analysis calculates the minimum variance portfolio of the potential European Union members by using there sovereign
