✦ Synopsis
Despite the growing importance of the commercial paper market there is no empirical work investigating the hedging performance of dynamic hedging strategies versus traditional static hedging strategies. This article proposes a dynamic hedging model for commercial paper that takes advantage of time dependencies present in the joint density of commercial paper and T-bill futures. The hedging effectiveness of the dynamic model is compared to that of the static regression model. There is clear evidence that dynamic hedging is superior to static hedging in terms of both total variance reduction and expected utility maximization. These results hold even when transactions costs are explicitly taken into account.

## Abstract In a number of earlier studies it has been demonstrated that the traditional regression‐based static approach is inappropriate for hedging with futures, with the result that a variety of alternative dynamic hedging strategies have emerged. In this study the authors propose a class of ne

The purpose of that article was to present a model in which "when testing the effectiveness of hedging Treasury bills, one must take into account the term to maturity on the deliverable bill and adjust for the constant yield price accumulation." The Dale et al. analysis is misleading because it foc
## Abstract Dynamic futures‐hedging ratios are estimated across seven markets using generalized models of the variance/covariance structure. The hedging performances of the resultant dynamic strategies are then compared with static and naïve strategies, both in‐ and out‐of‐sample. Bayesian‐adjusted
