沪深300股指期货套期保值效率度量研究——基于沪深300ETF的实证分析

基于沪深300股指期货真实交易数据,选取对指数拟合程度高且可交易的沪深300ETF为现货研究对象,运用静态套期保值比率估计模型（OLS、B-VAR、VECM）和动态套期保值比率估计模型（VECMBGARCH、DBEKK-GARCH、DCC-GARCH、NormCopula-GARCH、tCopula-GARCH）对最优套期保值比率进行估计,并对规避风险效果进行比较。结果表明：无论在样本内期间和样本外期间中,各模型反映出的沪深300股指期货套期保值效率都较高,考虑期货与现货市场动态相关性的NormCopula-GARCH模型套期保值效果最优。     

Property returns and inflation

Summary

This study investigates the hedging characteristics of property investments. We follow the methodology established in the finance literature by distinguishing between expected and unexpected inflation. The results provide support for the view that property provides a partial hedge against inflation.     

Flexible covariance dynamics,high-frequency data,and optimal futures hedging

This paper investigates the out-of-sample performance of hedged portfolios constructed using a novel rotated ARCH (RARCH) model class, which enables flexible covariance dynamics for spot and futures returns. The model's empirical fit can be significantly improved when it incorporates rotated realized covariance matrix measures. The empirical results suggest that a highly risk-averse hedger implementing the restricted RARCH model would be willing to pay substantial switching fees to capture the incremental gains generated by the flexible and informative alternative; this thus supports the economic importance of incorporating high-frequency data into flexible RARCH modeling processes for the construction of optimal hedged portfolios.     

Is gold a hedge and safe haven for stock market?

The paper aims to examine the hedge and safe haven properties of gold relative to Dow Jones stock industry indices using quantile-GARCH approach. Splitting the sample period into two sub-periods, our results show that the hedge and safe haven properties of gold have a changing nature. In a whole period (1980–2017), gold is not a hedge for Oil&Gas, Basic materials and Utilities; gold is a safe haven for almost all sectors except Technology. While in sub-period I (1980–1995) gold is not a hedge for Oil&Gas but a strong safe haven for all sectors. In sub-period II (1996–2017) gold is not a hedge for Oil&Gas, Basic materials and Utilities, also not a safe haven for Oil&Gas, Basic materials, Utilities, Telecom and Technology.     

钢材期货套期保值实证分析

期货价格与现货价格的走势具有趋同性与趋合性的特征,使期货套期保值交易能够对冲现货市场价格波动风险,钢材套期保值者可根据钢材价格的基差变化进行相应的买入或卖出交易,以锁定成本甚至获利.但在实际操作中,套期保值者还必须考虑运输、吊装等费用以及不同市场的价格贴水情况,确定一种合理基差.同时,本文认为决定套期保值效果的唯一因素是套期保值开始和套期保值结束时的基差变化,选择最理想的基差时机进行套期保值,能够实现预期的套期保值效果.
