Forecasting Natural Gas Prices Abstract In this project we will model and forecast the natural gas prices over the short-term through the development of the Error Correction Model (ECM). This is presented as the best predictive model among various alternatives.

Part 1: Suppose that the tin mining market is perfectly competitive. The market demand curve is given by D(P) = 300 – P‚ where D is measured in units per year‚ and P is measured in $ per units. There are many potential entrants into this market‚ all of whom have identical cost curves. These cost curves are summarized in Table 1 below: Table 1 Cost Curve Formula Maginal cost (in $ per unit) MC = 30. Fixed cost per year FC = 100. (Annualized) Capital charge CC = 100.
