This article investigates out-of-sample performance of the naïve hedging strategy relative to that of the minimum variance hedging strategy, in which the covariance parameters are estimated from eighteen econometric models. Hedging performance is compared across twenty-four futures markets. Our...

In this paper, we explore the strategy on hedging crude oil using refined product. We develop a regime switching asymmetric DCC (RS-ADCC) model by taking into account both of regime switching and asymmetry in correlations. Our out-of-sample findings indicate that RS-ADCC displays greater hedging...

Dynamic minimum variance hedge ratios (MVHRs) have been commonly estimated using Bivariate GARCH model that overlooks basis effect on the time-varying variance-covariance of spot and futures returns. This paper proposes an alternative specification of the BGARCH model in which the basis effect...
