One-Factor and Two-Factor Dynamic Hedging of Futures Contracts with Different Maturities for Emissions Allowances
Unexpected market information have a different speed change to market price of futures contracts with different maturities, and the paper estimates one-factor and two-factor dynamics hedge ratios and hedging effectiveness evaluation. One-factor and two-factor hedge ratios of futures contracts with different maturities for emissions allowances have time-varying trends. Compared with one-factor hedging, with an increase of span period, market participations can achieve a slight effect on risk reduction of portfolio revenues of futures contracts with different maturities by using two-factor hedge ratios, and especially two-factor hedging policy exhibits better hedging effectiveness for longer-term span period of futures contracts with different maturities for emissions allowances.
