Even though commodity pricing models have been successful in fitting the term structure of futures prices and its dynamics, they do not generate accurate true distributions of spot prices. This paper develops a new approach to calibrate these models using not only observations of oil futures...

This paper develops a new methodology to estimate oil ETF returns using WTI futures prices and analysts’ forecasts. Futures prices are obtained from the New York Mercantile Exchange, and analysts’ forecasts from Bloomberg and the U.S. Energy Information Administration.We use the United...

This paper presents a novel 5-factor model for agricultural commodity risk premiums, an approach not explored in previous research. The model is applied to the specific cases of corn, soybeans, and wheat. Calibration is achieved using a Kalman filter and maximum likelihood, with data from...
