Abstract
In this study, a threeโfactor model of crude oil prices is estimated, which incorporates a timeโvarying market price of risk. The model is able to accurately capture the term structure of futures prices with evidence suggesting that risk premiums in the crude oil market are timeโvarying. Using the crossโsection of futures prices, we estimate a timeโseries of the market price of risk in the crude oil market implied by the model. We find that the risk premiums in the crude oil market are driven by the same risk factors as equity and bond markets. ยฉ 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Jrl Fut Mark 31:779โ807, 2011
