Dynamic clustering of energy markets: An extended hidden Markov approach

作者:

Highlights:

• We analyze cycles in energy prices using an extension of the hidden Markov framework to panel data.

• U.S. energy markets are heterogeneous with two distinct clusters.

• Electricity markets are modeled by five states.

• Oil and gas markets are in just two states 96.6% of the time.

• We find little synchronization of states.
