The increased oil prices worldwide are having a great impact on all economic
activities. That’s why research on the dynamic behavior of crude oil prices has
become a hot issue in recent years. Especially the recent changes in crude oil price
behaviour between 2007 and 2009 revived the question about the underlying
dynamics governing crude oil prices. To understand the behavior of the oil market
there is a need to understand the stochastic models of oil prices. Their dynamics
were characterized by high volatility, high intensity jumps, and strong upward
drift, indicating that oil markets were constantly out-of-equilibrium. The aim of
this study is to model oil price returns by Lévy process including the temporal,
spectral and distributional properties of the data set. Our findings could be helpful
for monitoring oil markets and we expect that the analysis presented in this paper
is useful for researchers and energy economists interested in predicting crude oil
price and return.
