A new way of measuring the WTI – Brent spread. Globalization, shock persistence and common trends

The standard cointegration and the persistence of the spread of the Brent-WTI price have been widely analyzed. However, no studies have been able to present evidence of both issues jointly so far. A novel focus is presented in this paper from the application of the fractionally cointegrated vector a...

As result of the application of the FCVAR model, we identify several degrees of globalization by analyzing the order of integration of the error correction term. Indeed, by using Permanent-Transitory decomposition analysis, we present what drives the relationship between both oil crude prices’ information. The findings shown here reveal that the Brent-WTI market is strongly globalized.
