Abstract

Crude oil is a resource that is being used as a raw material in major industries, representing the price of the raw material market. It is also an important element that affects the shipping market in terms of fuel costs for freight vessels. As a result, crude oil and freight rates are closely related. Therefore, from January 2009 to June 2019, this study analyzed the dependency structure between oil price (WTI) and freight rates (BDI, BCI, BPI, BSI, and BHI) using daily data. The main results are summarized as follows. First, according to the copula results, survival Gumbel copula in WTI-BDI, Clayton copula in WTI-BCI, Survival Joe copula in WTI-BPI, Joe copula in WTI-BSI, and survival Gumbel copula in WTI-BHI were selected as the best-fitted model. Second, looking at Kendall's tau correlation, there is a positive correlation between BDI and oil price. Furthermore, freight rate index (BCI, BPI, BSI) and oil price show positive dependencies. In particular, the strongest dependence was found in BCI and oil price returns. However, BHI and oil price show a negative dependency. Third, looking at the tail-dependency structure, a pair between oil price and BDI, BCI showed a lower tail-dependency. The pair between oil price and BSI showed the upper tail-dependency.

원유는 주요 산업에서 주원료로 활용되고 있는 자원으로 원자재 시장 가격 전반을 대변해주고, 해운시장에서는 선박 연료로 운임 산정에 영향을 미치는 중요한 요소이다. 이에 따라 원유와 국제 운임지수는 밀접한 관련이 존재한다. 따라서 본 연구는 2009년 1월부터 2019년 6월까지 현물유가(WTI)와 국제운임지수(BDI, BCI, BPI, BSI, BHI)의 일별 자료를 이용하여 유가와 국제운임지수의 의존관계를 분석하였다. 주요 분석결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, copula 추정결과를 보면, WTI-BDI에서는 survival Gumbel copula, WTI-BCI는 Clayton copula, WTI-BPI는 Survival Joe copula, WTI-BSI는 Joe copula, WTI-BHI는 survival Gumbel copula가 가장 적합한 copula 모형으로 선정되었다. 둘째, Kendall's tau를 살펴보면 다음과 같다. BDI와 유가 변화율 조합에서 양(+)의 상관관계가 나타났다. 또한 선형별 국제운임지수(BCI, BPI, BSI, BHI)와 유가 변화율의 조합에서는 BHI와 유가변화율 조합을 제외하고 모두 양(+)의 의존성을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, BCI와 유가변화율 조합에서 가장 강한 의존성이 나타났다. 셋째, 꼬리 의존성을 살펴보면 유가변화율과 BDI, BCI는 왼쪽 꼬리의존성이 나타나지만, 유가변화율과 BSI는 오른쪽 꼬리 의존성이 나타났다.
