Can oil prices help estimate commodity futures prices? The cases of copper and silver

There is an extensive literature on modeling the stochastic process of commodity futures. It has been shown that models with several risk factors are able to adequately fit both the level and the volatility structure of observed transactions with reasonable low errors. One of the characteristics of commodity futures markets is the relatively short term maturity of their contracts, typically ranging for only a few years. This poses a problem for valuing long term investments that require extrapolating the observed term structure. There has been little work on how to effectively do this extrapolation and in measuring its errors. (Cortazar et al., 2008a) and (Cortazar et al., 2008b) propose a multicommodity model that jointly estimates two commodities, one with much longer maturity futures contracts than the other, showing that futures prices of one commodity may be useful information for estimating the stochastic process of another. They implement the procedure using highly correlated commodities like WTI and Brent. In this paper we analyze using prices of long term oil futures contracts to help estimate long term copper and silver future prices. We start by analyzing the performance of the (Cortazar et al., 2008a) and (Cortazar et al., 2008b) multicommodity model, now applied to oil-copper and oil-silver which have much lower correlation than the WTI-Brent contracts. We show that for these commodities with lower correlation the multicommodity model seems not to be effective. We then propose a modified multicommodity model with a much simpler structure which is easier to estimate and that uses the non-stationary long term process of oil to help estimate long term copper and silver futures prices, achieving a much better fit than using available individual or multicommodity models.Commodity futures Price estimation Copper Silver Oil

Beneficios de la actividad física y el rendimiento académico

Tesis (Profesor de Educación Física para enseñanza General Básica, Licenciado en Educación)La motivación para realizar esta investigación, fue influenciada por el error común que presentan los padres que castigan a sus hijos con el deporte, cuando estos bajan su rendimiento de notas en otras asignaturas. Buscando que se concentren más en los estudios y mejoren sus notas. Pero lo que algunos padres no saben, es que el deporte, es un semblante positivo en la vida de los niños, el cual entrega un sinfín de beneficios como desarrollar habilidades motrices, actitudes propensas al juego limpio y liderazgo entre otros. Lo que genera toda esta situación, es contra producente, ya que los padres pretenden que los niños mejoren su rendimiento académico privándolos del deporte, pero resulta que la actividad física les brinda una activación cerebral generalizada, debido a que se necesita mantener en función y coordinación la totalidad de los sistemas. Por otro lado, Educación Física y Salud es una asignatura central de la educación escolar, que aporta en la formación integral de los estudiantes. La siguiente tesis de investigación trata sobre la relación entre el tiempo de actividad física y deportiva que realizan niños de sexto año básico con su promedio final de notas. Se creó y aplicó una encuesta de interés a dos colegios particulares pagados (Lincoln International Academy, Colegio Monte Tabor) y dos colegios particular subvencionado (Colegio San Viator y Colegio Elvira Hurtado de Matte). La encuesta fue conformada por seis preguntas en donde se buscó ver la correlación de la frecuencia en que realizan actividad física y deportiva los estudiantes de los respectivos colegios, sumando si asisten a talleres deportivos o clubes. Al obtener las respuestas se hizo un análisis de datos de los estudiantes y se realizó los cruces con la información obtenida, con los gráficos que se obtuvo por resultado se analizó la información y un orden de esta, facilitando el análisis, buscando encontrar las respuestas a nuestras interrogantes. Es importante destacar que el término “Salud” se debe a la preocupación del alto nivel de sedentarismo que enfrenta nuestro país. La Encuesta Nacional de Salud del 2010 muestra que un 88,6% de la población mayor de 17 años tiene un comportamiento sedentario, por otro lado el SIMCE de Educación Física aplicado el 2011 nos da a conocer que solo un 10% de los alumnos tiene una condición física satisfactoria, mientras que el 20% tiene riesgo a contraer enfermedades cardiovasculares y cardiorrespiratorias. Entonces nace la pregunta ¿Será beneficioso para el estudiante quitarle la práctica de actividad física como un castigo? Viendo estos niveles de sedentarismo y los riesgos que pueden tener los estudiantes no es una buena opción quitarles la oportunidad de mejorar su condición física y de tener opción a mejorar su calidad de vida por medio del ejercicio físico, según las respuestas de los estudiantes estos dedican muy pocas horas a la actividad física y es por esto que tenemos índices tan altos de sobrepeso en los niños

A new class of plastic flow evolution equations for anisotropic multiplicative elastoplasticity based on the notion of a corrector elastic strain rate

[EN] We herein present a new continuum theory for both isotropic and anisotropic elastoplasticity at large strains. The new framework has the following properties: (1) It is valid for non-moderate large strains, (2) it is valid for both elastic and plastic anisotropy, (3) its description in rate form is parallel to that of the infinitesimal formulation, (4) it is compatible with the multiplicative decomposition, (5) results in a similar framework in any stress-strain work-conjugate pair, (6) it is consistent with the principle of maximum plastic dissipation and (7) does not impose any restriction on the plastic spin, which must be given as an independent constitutive equation. Furthermore, when formulated using logarithmic strain measures in the intermediate configuration: (8) it may be easily integrated using a classical backward-Euler rule resulting in an additive update. All these properties are obtained simply by considering a plastic evolution in terms of a corrector rate of the proper elastic strain. This new continuum theory is a natural framework for elastoplasticity of both metals and soft materials and solves the (so-coined by Simo) rate issue.Financial support for this work has been given by grants DPI2011-26635 and DPI2015-69801-R from the Direction General de Proyectos de Investigation of the Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad of Spain.

Anisotropic finite strain viscoelasticity based on the Sidoroff multiplicative decomposition and logarithmic strains

[EN] In this paper a purely phenomenological formulation and finite element numerical implementation for quasi-incompressible transversely isotropic and orthotropic materials is presented. The stored energy is composed of distinct anisotropic equilibrated and non-equilibrated parts. The nonequilibrated strains are obtained from the multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient. The procedure can be considered as an extension of the Reese and Govindjee framework to anisotropic materials and reduces to such formulation for isotropic materials. The stress-point algorithmic implementation is based on an elastic-predictor viscous-corrector algorithm similar to that employed in plasticity. The consistent tangent moduli for the general anisotropic case are also derived. Numerical examples explain the procedure to obtain the material parameters, show the quadratic convergence of the algorithm and usefulness in multiaxial loading. One example also highlights the importance of prescribing a complete set of stress-strain curves in orthotropic materials.Partial financial support for this work has been given by grant DPI2011-26635 from the Direccion General de Proyectos de Investigacion of the Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad of SpainLatorre, M.; Montáns, FJ.
