An Application of Realized Regression to the Futures Hedging Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a high-frequency based method for analyzing a one-period futures hedging problem. The realized hedge ratio is constructed by applying the realized regression with the R-squared coefficient as an ex-post performance measure. The asymptotic theory enables us to assess the parameter estimation risk of the hedge ratios. An empirical study is conducted on the S&P 500 index and their hedging performance is compared to the conventional hedge ratios. Moreover, impacts of the market microstructure effect on the realized hedge ratio and the effect of the parameter estimation risk on the corresponding hedging performance are discussed.

متن کاملRealized Volatility, Covariance and Hedging Coefficient of the Nikkei-225 Futures with Micro-Market Noise
For the estimation problem of the realized volatility, covariance and hedging coefficient by using high frequency data with possibly micro-market noises, we use the Separating Information Maximum Likelihood (SIML) method, which was recently developed by Kunitomo and Sato (2008a,b). By analyzing the Nikkei 225 futures and spot index markets, we have found that the estimates of realized volatilit...

The paper examines the issue of hedging in energy markets. The objective of this study is to select an optimal model that will provide the highest price risk reduction for the selected commodities. We apply the ordinary least squares methods, autoregressive model, autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity and copula to calculate the appropriate dynamic minimum-variance hedge ratio. The obje...
متن کاملHedging Ideally with Realized Covariance
In view of the recent documented hedging bias attributable to failing to accommodate volatility long memory, we suggest to use the simple, yet superior, realized variancecovariance (RVCOV) in dynamic hedging. For its incremental value from intradaily information, model-free and inherent long memory, RVCOV has been shown to be accurate without misspecification bias and easily generalized to high...
متن کاملForecasting Foreign Exchange Volatility: Why Is Implied Volatility Biased and Inefficient? And Does It Matter?
Research has consistently found that implied volatility is a conditionally biased predictor of realized volatility across asset markets. This paper evaluates explanations for this bias in the market for options on foreign exchange futures. No solution considered—including a model of priced volatility risk—explains the conditional bias found in implied volatility. Further, while implied volatili...
