Predictability of second-hand bulk carriers with a novel hybrid algorithm

This paper investigates the predictability of the asset prices of commodity transport (i.e. dry bulk carriers) by testing the shipping Q index as a leading indicator. We employ a comprehensive back-testing procedure with a broad spectrum of benchmark simulations. The shipping Q index (an adaptation...
