Le prix du baril : le pari
If the best predictor of future prices is present price, how then do we account for the extreme volatility in the record? Simple: Present price may be the best predictor, but it is a lousy predictor nonetheless. Hamilton finds that the standard deviation in oil prices from quarter-to-quarter was 15.28%. Hence, if we start a quarter with $115 oil, prices in the next quarter could average between $85 and $156 per barrel. In a year, they could range between $62 and $212. In four years, they might be anywhere between $34 and $391!
