- Abstract
This scientific article examines the modeling of coal price volatility using a mean reversion model (MRM) and compares the performance of different parameter estimation approaches. The aim of the study is to identify which parameter estimation approach is best suited for modeling the volatility of coal prices. The study uses annual discrete time data from 2022 to 2031 to estimate the MRM parameters using three approaches: linear regression method (LRM), least square method (LSM), and moment method (MM). The results show that the MM approach produces the highest volatility, while the LRM has the lowest reversion value but higher volatility than the LSM. The findings suggest that the MM approach may be more suitable for modeling coal price volatility due to its ability to capture higher levels of volatility. These results have implications for understanding the dynamics of the coal market and can inform decisions related to pricing, risk management, and investment in the coal industry.
