Evaluating the Hedging Performance of the Constant- Correlation GARCH Model

This paper compares the performances of the hedge ratios estimated from the OLS (ordinary least squares) method and the constant-correlation VGARCH (vector generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity) model. These methods are evaluated based on the out-of-sample optimal hedge ratio forecasts. A systematic comparison is provided by examining ten spot and futures markets covering cu...

Conversely, the three single perspective analyses conducted for this Forum each drew upon different linguistic details to support their conclusions with different insights. It is important to consider how different ap...
