Speculation and Hedging in Segmented Markets
We analyze a model in which traders have different trading opportunities and learn information from prices. The difference in trading opportunities implies that different traders may have different trading motives when trading in the same market—some trade for speculation and others for hedging—and thus they may respond to the same information in opposite directions. This implies that adding mo...
متن کاملDynamic speculation and hedging in commodity futures markets with a stochastic convenience yield
The main objective of this paper is to address, in an a continuous-time framework, the issue of using storable commodity futures as vehicles for hedging purposes when, in particular, the convenience yield as well as the market prices of risk evolve randomly over time. Following the martingale route and by operating a suitable constant relative risk aversion utility function (CRRA) specific chan...
متن کاملHerding and Speculation in Experimental Asset Markets
I conduct an experiment to observe individual traders beliefs and desired behavior in a partial-equilibrium asset market. Isolated traders trade a risky asset in a market with exogenous prices. The price series exhibits a "bubble," diverging strongly from the expected dividend yield. Before trading, traders predict the assets price in the upcoming period, the price in the nal period, and the...
متن کاملHedging of Options in Jump-Diffusion Markets with Correlated Assets
We consider the hedging problem in a jump-diffusion market with correlated assets. For this purpose, we employ the locally risk-minimizing approach and obtain the hedging portfolio as a solution of a multidimensional system of linear equations. This system shows that in a continuous market, independence and correlation assumptions of assets lead to the same locally risk-minimizing portfolio. ...
متن کاملSpeculation and survival in financial markets∗
The paper analyzes a finite time economy with a single risky asset which pays a one-shot payoff (dividend). The payoff is random and its distribution is not known à priori. Agents observe public signals (random draws from the same distribution) and update their beliefs about the payoff. They trade in order to reshuffle their portfolios according to new beliefs. Agents may use various updating r...
