Abstract: In this paper we investigate the dynamic features of energy commodity prices. Using a generalized smooth transition model (GSTAR) we show that dynamic symmetry in price cycles in the energy markets is strongly rejected. Further, our results show that the proposed model performs well when compared to other linear and nonlinear speciÖcations in a out-of-sample forecasting exercise.
