## Abstract This article analyzes the effects of the length of hedging horizon on the optimal hedge ratio and hedging effectiveness using 9 different hedging horizons and 25 different commodities. We discuss the concept of shortβ and longβrun hedge ratios and propose a technique to simultaneously e

Abstract
This note provides an analysis to examine the conjecture about the monotonic relationship between hedge ratio variability and hedging performance. Specific conditions are characterized to sustain the conjecture. Β© 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Jrl Fut Mark

Suppose that spot and futures prices are generated from an errorcorrection model. This note demonstrates that, although the OLS model is misspecified, it provides a hedge ratio that usually outperforms the hedge ratio derived from the correct error-correction model. The opposite result is possible o
## Abstract In this article, optimal hedge ratios are estimated for different hedging horizons for 23 different futures contracts using wavelet analysis. The wavelet analysis is chosen to avoid the sample reduction problem faced by the conventional methods when applied to nonβoverlapping return ser
## Abstract An option hedge ratio is the sensitivity of an option price with respect to price changes in the underlying stock. It measures the number of shares of stocks to hedge an option position. This article presents a simple derivation of the hedge ratios under the BlackβScholes optionβpricing
In many empirical studies, both spot and futures prices were shown to contain a stochastic trend. Consequently, it is necessary to examine the possible cointegration relationship between the two prices as suggested by the efficient markets hypothesis. The importance of incorporating the cointegratio
The extended Gini coefficient, C, is a measure of dispersion with strong theoretical merit for use in futures hedging. Yitzhaki (1982Yitzhaki ( , 1983) ) provides conditions under which a two-parameter framework using the mean and C of portfolio returns yields an efficient set consistent with second
