Time-frequency co-movements between commodities and global economic policy uncertainty across different crises.

Commodity futures constitute an attractive asset class for portfolio managers. Propelled by their low correlation with other assets, commodities begin gaining popularity among investors, as they allow to capture diversification benefits. This comprehensive study examines the time and frequency spillovers between the Economic Policy Uncertainty [1] and a broad set of commodities encompassing ferrous, non-ferrous, and precious metals, food, and energy commodities over a period from December 1997 to April 2022, which includes various political, economic and health crises.

User-Oriented Summaries Using a PSO Based Scoring Optimization Method.

Automatic text summarization tools have a great impact on many fields, such as medicine, law, and scientific research in general. As information overload increases, automatic summaries allow handling the growing volume of documents, usually by assigning weights to the extracted phrases based on their significance in the expected summary. Obtaining the main contents of any given document in less time than it would take to do that manually is still an issue of interest.

An analysis of high-frequency cryptocurrencies prices dynamics using permutation-information-theory quantifiers.

This paper discusses the dynamics of intraday prices of 12 cryptocurrencies during the past months' boom and bust. The importance of this study lies in the extended coverage of the cryptoworld, accounting for more than 90% of the total daily turnover. By using the complexity-entropy causality plane, we could discriminate three different dynamics in the data set.

A permutation information theory tour through different interest rate maturities: the Libor case.

This paper analyses Libor interest rates for seven different maturities and referred to operations in British pounds, euros, Swiss francs and Japanese yen, during the period 2001-2015. The analysis is performed by means of two quantifiers derived from information theory: the permutation Shannon entropy and the permutation Fisher information measure. An anomalous behaviour in the Libor is detected in all currencies except euros during the years 2006-2012.
