Purpose - The purpose of this study is to examine how Korea's macroeconomic factors, such as GDP, CPI, Export, Import, Unemployment rate and USD/KRW exchange rate, are affected by the oil price shocks. Design/methodology/approach - This study used monthly and quarterly time-series data of each variable for the period 1983 to 2022, consisting of two sub-periods, to employ Granger causality test and GARCH method in order to identify the role of the oil price movement in macroeconomic factors in Korea. Findings - Korea's currency rate to the US dollar is negatively correlated with the price change of crude oil while the GDP change is positively correlated with the price change of crude oil with strong relationship between Export and Import in particular. The exchange rate and GDP growth are believed to be not correlated with the oil price change for the pre-GFC period. According to the Granger causality test, the price change in crude oil has a causal impact on CPI, Export and Import while other factors are relatively slightly affected. Transmission effect from the oil price to Export is found and there also exists volatility spillover from oil price to economic variables under examination. Comparing two sub-periods, CPI and Export volatility responds negatively to shocks in the oil price for the pre-GFC period while volatility of CPI and Unemployment reacts positively to the oil price shocks for the post-GFC period. Research implications or Originality - The findings of this study could be helpful for both domestic and international investors to build their portfolio for the risk management since rising WTI price can be interpreted as a result of global economic growth and ensuing increase in the worldwide demand of the crude oil. Consequently, the national output is expected to increase and the currency is also expected to be strong in the long run.

국제원유가격의 변동은 세계 각국의 경제에 상당한 영향을 미치고 있다. 이러한 원유가격의 변동을 정확히 예측하기 위해서는 원유가격 변동요인의 정립이 필히 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 전통적으로 원유가격의 중요한 변동요인으로 알려져 있는 OPEC의 원유생산량과 걸프전쟁 이후 주요한 국제원유가격 변동요인으로 주목받고 있는 미국의 원유재고량의 영향과 역할을 공적분(Cointegration) 모형과 오차수정모형(Error-Correction Model)을 통해 분석하였다. 분석결과, 원유생산량과 더불어 원유재고량도 원유가격의 중요한 변동요인으로 작용함을 알 수 있었다. 장 단기 탄력성의 경우, 원유생산량의 생산탄력성은 장기에 비해 단기에 더 탄력적으로 나타났으며 원유재고량의 재고탄력성은 단기에 비해 장기에 더 탄력적으로 나타났으며 장기에는 원유재고량의 변동이 생산량의 변동보다 오히려 원유가격에 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 원유가격은 첫해에서 나타난 불균형을 대략 12%의 조정속도로, 장기균형으로 조정됨을 알 수 있었다.

최근 들어, 우리는 유례 없는 국제 유가의 급등현상을 목격하고 있다. 이러한 시점에서, 의문점은 유가에 대한 예측 가능성과 이의 정확도에 관한 것이다. 본 연구에서는 전문가 예측시스템과 비교하여 선물가격의 상대적인 예측력에 관하여 통계적으로 분석하고자 한다. 이를 위해, 미국 텍사스 중질유(WTI)의 현물가격과 선물가격을 활용하여, 예측 정확도에 관한 단순한 형태의 통계적 분석과 함께 분석수단별 예측오차 차이의 유의성에 관한 체계적 분석을 시도하였다. 통계적 검정결과에 따르면, WTI 선물시장을 활용한 예측은 미국 에너지정보기구(EIA)의 예측과 비교하여 뒤지지 않는 것으로 판명되었다. 결과적으로, 석유 생산자와 소비자 모두가 WTI 선물시장을 유가 예측의 유용한 수단으로 활용할 수 있고, 이로써 효율적인 자원배분 측면에서도 유익할 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose - This study examines the impact of oil price volatility on economic activities in Korea. The new millennium has seen a deregulation in the crude oil market, which invited immense capital inflow into Korea. It has also raised oil price levels and volatility. Drawing on the recent theoretical literature that emphasizes the role of volatility, this paper attends to the asymmetric changes in economic growth in response to the oil price movement. This study further examines several key macroeconomic variables, such as interest rate, production, and inflation. We come to the conclusion that oil price volatility can, in some part, explain the structural changes. Research design, data, and methodology - We use two methodological frameworks in this study. First, in regards to the oil price uncertainty, we use an Exponential-GARCH (Exponential Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity: EGARCH) model estimate to elucidate the asymmetric effect of oil price shock on the conditional oil price volatility. Second, along with the estimation of the conditional volatility by the EGARCH model, we use the estimates in a VECM (Vector Error Correction Model). The study thus examines the dynamic impacts of oil price volatility on industrial production, price levels, and monetary policy responses. We also approximate the monetary policy function by the yield of monetary stabilization bond. The data collected for the study ranges from 1990: M1 to 2013: M7. In the VECM analysis section, the time span is split into two sub-periods; one from 1990 to 1999, and another from 2000 to 2013, due to the U.S. CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission) deregulation on the crude oil futures that became effective in 2000. This paper intends to probe the relationship between oil price uncertainty and macroeconomic variables since the structural change in the oil market became effective. Results and Conclusions - The dynamic impulse response functions obtained from the VECM show a prolonged dampening effect of oil price volatility shock on the industrial production across all sub-periods. We also find that inflation measured by CPI rises by one standard deviation shock in response to oil price uncertainty, and lasts for the ensuing period. In addition, the impulse response functions allude that South Korea practices an expansionary monetary policy in response to oil price shocks, which stems from oil price uncertainty. Moreover, a comparison of the results of the dynamic impulse response functions from the two sub-periods suggests that the dynamic relationships have strengthened since 2000. Specifically, the results are most drastic in terms of industrial production; the impact of oil price volatility shocks has more than doubled from the year 2000 onwards. These results again indicate that the relationships between crude oil price uncertainty and Korean macroeconomic activities have been strengthened since the year2000, which resulted in a structural change in the crude oil market due to the deregulation of the crude oil futures.

It is undisputable that crude oil and its price fluctuations are major components that affect most of the countries' economies. Recent studies have demonstrated that beside the impact that crude oil price fluctuations have on common macroeconomic indicators like gross domestic product (GDP), inflation rates, exchange rates, unemployment rate, etc., it also has a strong influence on stock markets and their performance. This relationship has been examined in a number of settings, but it is yet to be unraveled in the Omani context. Accordingly, the main purpose of this study is to examine the possible effect of the oil price fluctuations on stock price movements. The study applies Toda and Yamamoto's (1995) Granger non-causality test on the daily Oman stock index (Muscat Securities Market Index) and oil prices between the period of 2 January 2003 and 13 March 2016. The results indicated that the oil price fluctuations have a significant impact on stock index movements. However, the stock price movements do not have a significant impact on oil prices. These findings have significant implications not only for the Omani economy but also for the economy of similar countries, particularly in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The latter should carefully consider their policies and strategies regarding crude oil production and the generated income allocation as it might potentially affect the financial markets performance in these countries.

Under violent competition to secure international raw materials, safe supply and demand of crude oil that only relies on import among main raw materials is an important task for Korean economic development. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the impact of price change of international crude oil on merchandise balance. It also presents political suggestions in preparation for national economic development and safety and develops an organized and long-term overseas resources development program. As the time-series data which had the 1st difference contribute to dismissal of the null hypothesis successfully, we carry out a multivariate cointegration test developed by Johansen (1988) and find that at least one cointegration vector exists. And, when Impulse Response Function is introduced, as the crude oil import price shows a negative impact from Step 2, then an extreme change, a positive impact since Step 13, is maintained and a safe result appears.

The objective of this paper is to examine whether it is feasible to introduce an crude oil futures contract on domestic commodity exchange in order to minimize the price risks of imported crude oil. In addition. this study suggests the policy issues to promote futures trading and the alternatives to use foreign energy compares the five criteria to evaluate the feasibility of crude oil futures trading on the domestic exchange. Related to the possibility of successful futures trading of imported crude oil on the domestic exchange, they are evaluated as follows: it is highly possible to succeed for the aspects of price volatility, potential market size or liquidity, and commodity homogeneity; but it is inappropriate for the aspects of deliverable amounts and market power or market structure. Therefore, it is concluded that trading a new futures contract for the underlying imported crude oil on the domestic exchange is inappropriate. For the policy issues and the hedging alternatives, first, it is urgent to establish an atmosphere for futures trading by promoting spot trading. Second, for the case of futures trading on the domestic exchange it is important to consider the simultaneous hedging of crude oil price and foreign exchange risks and mutual offsetting mechanism with major foreign exchanges. Third, for the case of futures trading on foreign exchanges it is reasonable to regard cooperation among concerned companies, government support for futures trading and direct participation into futures trading by the government.

본 연구는 CKLS (1992)와 Nowman and Wang (2001)을 참고하여 다양한 형태의 확률과정 모형들을 추정하였다. 실증분석에서는 1996년 1월부터 2005년 1월까지의 월간 브렌트(Brent) 유가를 대상으로 일반적 적률법(GMM)을 적용하였다. 또한, 시뮬레이션된 시계열자료를 활용하여 유럽행 콜옵션의 가치를 산정하고, 확률과정 모형별로 비교하였다. 실증분석 결과에 의하면, 원유가격의 경우 가격 수준에 따라 변동성이 크게 좌우된다는 것을 알 수 있다. 하지만, 기존 관련 연구의 결과들과 달리 유가의 평균회귀 성향은 약한 것으로 나타났다. 이와 함께, 본 연구에서 채택한 상이한 확률과정 모형에 따라 원유를 기초자산으로 하는 파생상품의 가치가 달라진다는 것을 알 수 있다.

국제원유시장에서 대표적인 WTI, 브렌트, 두바이유의 현물 및 선물 가격 간의 인과관계를 분석함으로써 국제유가의 가격발견과정을 연구한다. 비순환성 그래프에서 도출된 국제유가의 동시적 인과관계를 이용하여 오차수정모형에서 유가간의 단기인과관계를 분석한다. 1999년 1월 4일~2005년 7월 15일까지의 시계열 데이터를 이용한 동시적 인과관계의 분석 결과 WTI 현물과 선물 가격에 대한 두바이의 동시적 영향은 통계적으로 유의미하지 않은 것으로 나타났으며, 반면 브렌트 현물 및 선물 가격에 대한 두바이의 영향은 유의미한 것으로 확인되었다. 단기적으로는 브렌트 가격의 확률충격 상당부분이 WTI에 의해 설명되는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 브렌트가 두바이와 WTI를 연결하고 있어, 마커원유로서 브렌트에 더욱 주목할 필요가 있음을 시사한다.
