A provocative and personal account of the ongoing cultural battles over pipelines in BC. Three actor writers—two Indigenous and one white—come together to create a play about the political conflicts surrounding Canada's oil industry. This project sends each of them on a journey of self-reflection and discovery. They confront prejudices while wrestling with their own fossil fuel dependency, cultural heritage, and first world privilege. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: This paper examines the performance of alternative models in estimating systematic risk in the oil industry, considering the traditional market model, three time-varying models, and some combination methods of individual models. This study uses the world''s top 10 oil firms’ data series to find that the combination method outperforms other individual models in out-of-sample forecasting of returns. The results indicate that the forecasting performance of the regression method is superior to individual and simple average models. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
