Convenience Yields and Options Value of Exchanging different- maturity Futures Contracts Implied from Emissions Allowances Futures Market
نویسنده
چکیده
Our results find that futures contracts with different maturities for emissions allowances exhibit a significant cointegration relationship by using two-step EG model, similar market information has a convergent effect on prices spreads of futures contracts with different maturities. Convenience yields implied from the futures markets exhibit a significant options property. Convenience yields are call or put options, based on extending exchange options pricing model, market participants flexibly optimize assets portfolio sizes between the nearby and distant futures contracts using the options property of convenience yields for emissions allowances, and then they can achieve excess market investment revenues. Key-Words: emissions allowances, cointegration, futures prices spreads, convenience yields, differentmaturity futures, options property, investment revenues

Convenience yields and arbitrage revenues of emission allowances between spot and futures
Based on the data samples using EUA spot and futures in the ICE and BLUENEXT exchange platform in the European Union emissions trading scheme (EU ETS), this paper propose the market behavior of convenience yields and examine the options feature of convenience yields for emission allowances. When the convenience yields of emission allowances are positive, the convenience yields are positively re...
متن کاملRisk-Neutral Models for Emission Allowance Prices and Option Valuation
T existence of mandatory emission trading schemes in Europe and the United States, and the increased liquidity of trading on futures contracts on CO2 emissions allowances, led naturally to the next step in the development of these markets: These futures contracts are now used as underliers for a vibrant derivative market. In this paper, we give a rigorous analysis of a simple risk-neutral reduc...

متن کاملStochastic Convenience Yield, Optimal Hedging and the Term Structure of Open Interest and Futures Prices
This paper develops a dynamic, equilibrium model of a futures market to study optimal hedging and the term structure of open interest and futures prices. Investors continuously face spot price risk over time and attempt to hedge this risk using futures. Convenience yield shocks generate basis risk to rolling over near-to-maturity futures. Hence, investors need to simultaneously trade far-from-m...

In this article, we develop a two-factor model of commodity prices that allows meanreversion in short-term prices and uncertainty in the equilibrium level to which prices revert. Although these two factors are not directly observable, they may be estimated from spot and futures prices. Intuitively, movements in prices for long-maturity futures contracts provide information about the equilibrium...
