Abstract

We expand the frequency domain asset pricing literature, traditionally focused on equities and bonds, to include the oil market. Our analysis extends to both the frequency and calendar time domains, offering new tests for the theories of storage and normal backwardation (hedging pressure). Our study highlights that the main relationships of both theories operate continuously in time at intermediate frequencies. Our analysis in the time–frequency domain enables us to refine extant conclusions regarding financialization in the oil market.
