基于协整理论的DFT-GARCH模型的统计套利研究

现有的统计套利策略大多建立在协整理论和GARCH模型的基础上.离散Fourier变换(DFT)的思想可以挖掘价差序列周期性、非线性的特征,保证其在拟合和预测中的精确度.利用沪铜期货合约的收盘价数据进行实证分析,研究结果表明:在高频数据下,新模型对数据的拟合和预测效果要明显优于传统的套利模型,在相同的交易规则下,新模型的套利成功率和收益率都高于传统的统计套利模型.     

连续交易制度与价格发现功能——基于我国黄金期货市场的实证研究

连续交易制度是提升我国黄金期货市场国际竞争力的重要举措。采用2011年1月至2014年9月中美黄金期货市场日收盘价数据,利用VEC模型、信息份额模型、VEC-BEKK-MGARCH模型、DCC-MGARCH模型,研究了该制度对上海黄金期货市场价格发现功能的影响。结果表明:制度推出后,上海黄金期货市场的价格发现功能得到提升,不过仍弱于美国市场,美国市场对上海市场的收益率传递效应减弱,两市场之间的波动溢出效应有所增强,时变动态相关系数振动幅度明显降低。     

The efficiency of financial futures markets: Tests of prediction accuracy

The prices of financial futures contracts can be interpreted as forecasts of the spot rates, which will apply at the final delivery date of that contract. Financial futures contracts have been traded daily since the early 1980s and provide a substantial bank of data to test the forecasting efficiency of such contracts. Tests are carried out to examine whether the interest rates implied by the futures price for eurodollar and short sterling contracts are cointegrated with the final settlement price over forecasting horizons of 1, 2 and 3 months. Similar analysis is carried out for the yen/dollar exchange rate futures contract. The paper then examines the forecasting performance of the three contracts over the forecasting horizons of 1, 2 and 3 months and in particular whether the forecasts implied by the futures contract provide better predictions than the naı̈ve no-change (i.e. random walk), a vector error correction model (VECM) or an ARIMA model.An examination of the relative efficiency of the markets for the three markets over the three time horizons is carried out and finally trading strategies are simulated to see whether excess profits can be achieved. In fact the results suggest that both profits and losses would be attracted.     

夜盘交易对我国农产品期货市场影响的实证研究

随着我国农产品期货与国际市场的联动性进一步加强,为防止相关期货产品的隔夜风险和价格跳水问题,对部分农产品期货实行夜盘交易制度。为测度夜盘交易制度是否有益于农产品期货市场朝着稳定、理性的方向发展,本文采用了适合刻画金融序列波动性的GARCH族模型,实证检验得出GARCH、GARCH-M和EGARCH模型能够高度拟合农产品期货的价格序列并显著衡量夜盘交易对于我国农产品期货市场的影响。研究结论如下:第一、基于GRACH模型实证结果,夜盘交易制度变量的回归结果显著,该制度能减轻农产品期货的价格波动,且其影响是显著的;第二、EGARCH模型的回归结果同样显著,分别对比不同样本期的EGARCH模型实证结果可以得到,夜盘交易的开放减少了农产品期货市场的非对称性,使得市场趋向于理性的方向发展。

Forward Variance Dynamics: Bergomi’s Model Revisited

Abstract

In this article, we propose an arbitrage-free modelling framework for the joint dynamics of forward variance along with the underlying index, which can be seen as a combination of the two approaches proposed by Bergomi. The difference between our modelling framework and the Bergomi (2008. Smile dynamics III. Risk, October, 90–96) models is mainly the ability to compute the prices of VIX futures and options by using semi-analytic formulas. Also, we can express the sensitivities of the prices of VIX futures and options with respect to the model parameters, which enables us to propose an efficient and easy calibration to the VIX futures and options. The calibrated model allows to Delta-hedge VIX options by trading in VIX futures, the corresponding hedge ratios can be computed analytically.     

沪铜期货及其期权的量化定价实证研究

作为最大的铜消费市场,铜在我国占据着最重要地位。随着2018年9月沪铜期货期权正式登陆上海期货交易所,我国铜交易产品进一步与国际接轨。虽然拥有世界领先的铜交易市场,但我国学术领域尚缺乏采用量化方法对沪铜期货及其期权的深入实证研究。在大宗商品量化领域,Schwartz二因子模型^[1]被看作是量化期货定价的基准模型,本文通过实证分析发现经典二因子模型在中国市场应用时会产生“水土不服”,因此本文采用波动参数的思想,修正了Schwartz二因子模型在中国沪铜市场的“水土不服”。另外,根据早期文献对认购期货期权的量化定价模型^[2,3],本文明确了认沽期货期权的量化定价公式,并通过对沪铜期货期权定价模型的实证分析,发现目前沪铜期货期权存在套利空间。

Contingent claim pricing using probability distortion operators: methods from insurance risk pricing and their relationship to financial theory

This paper considers the pricing of contingent claims using an approach developed and used in insurance pricing. The approach is of interest and significance because of the increased integration of insurance and financial markets and also because insurance-related risks are trading in financial markets as a result of securitization and new contracts on futures exchanges. This approach uses probability distortion functions as the dual of the utility functions used in financial theory. The pricing formula is the same as the Black-Scholes formula for contingent claims when the underlying asset price is log-normal. The paper compares the probability distortion function approach with that based on financial theory. The theory underlying the approaches is set out and limitations on the use of the insurance-based approach are illustrated. The probability distortion approach is extended to the pricing of contingent claims for more general assumptions than those used for Black-Scholes option pricing.     

夜盘交易对我国贵金属期货市场的影响研究

对比了我国贵金属期货市场推出夜盘交易制度前后流动性、波动性与联动性的变化,并研究了该交易制度带来的长期与短期不同的影响。首先,采用经过修正的流动性比率衡量市场流动性,并引入虚拟变量纳入回归模型,进一步研究夜盘交易对市场流动性的贡献;接下来,将每日收益率分解为隔夜收益率和日内收益率,通过建立EGARCH模型,分别考察夜盘交易对隔夜波动率和日内波动率长期与短期的影响;最后,通过建立VAR-BEKK-GARCH模型,从均值和方差两个层面研究了国内外贵金属期货市场间的联动性。研究发现:我国推出的夜盘交易制度显著提高了贵金属期货市场的流动性,降低了贵金属期货市场的波动性,尤其是降低了隔夜收益率的波动性,日内收益率的波动性并没有显著减弱;夜盘交易的推出同时增强了国内外期货市场之间的联动性,提升了我国贵金属期货市场对信息的吸收与传递效率。

EXISTENCE OF STOCHASTIC EQUILIBRIUM WITH INCOMPLETE FINANCIAL MARKETS

This paper analyzes the aritrage-tree security markets and the general equilibrium ex-istence problem for a stochastic economy with incomplete financial markets. Information structure is given by an event tree. This paper restricts attention to puraly financial securities. It isassume that trading takes place in the sequence of spot markets and futures markets for securi-ties payable in units of account. Unlimited short-selling in securities is allowed. Financial markets may be incomplete, some consumption streams may be impossible to obtain by any tradingstrategy. Securities may be individually precluded from trade at arbitrary states and dates. Thesecurity price process is arbitrage-free the dividend process if and only if there exists a stochaticstate price (present value) process : the present value of the security prices at every vertex isthe present value of their dividend and capital values over the set of immediate successors ; thecurrent value of each security at every vertex is the present value of its future dividend streamover all succeeding vertices. The existence of such an equilibrium is proved under the followingcondition: continuous, weakly convex, strictly monotone and complete preferences, strictlypositive endowmenta and dividends processes.     

A model for optimal execution of atomic orders

Atomic Orders are the basic elements of any algorithm for automated trading in electronic stock exchanges. The main concern in their execution is achieving the most efficient price. We propose two optimal strategies for the execution of atomic orders based on minimization of impact and volatility costs. The first considered strategy is based on a relatively simple nonlinear optimization model while the second allows re-optimization at some time point within a given execution time. In both cases a combination of market and limit orders is used. The key innovation in our approach is the introduction of a Fill Probability function which allows a combination of market and limit orders in the two optimization models we are discussing in this paper. Under certain conditions the objective functions of both considered problems are convex and therefore standard optimization tools can be applied. The efficiency of the resulting strategies is tested against two benchmarks representing common market practice on a representative sample of real trading data.     

Business value and risk in the presence of price controls: an option-based analysis of margin squeeze rules in the telecommunications industry

Pricing rules specific to the German telecommunications market limit the incumbents flexibility, providing a competitive advantage to all other market participants. More specifically, the incumbent is required not to offer products to its end customers at prices below a predetermined level in order to prevent margin squeezes. In contrast, competitors can freely choose their pricing strategy. In this paper, we propose the imposition of equivalent price barriers on all market participants in order to avoid price margin squeezes and reduce regulatory discrimination at the same time. We tailor a duopoly model to the German context, integrating the regulation of access pricing and price margin squeezes. Under standard parameter assumptions, we demonstrate that no economically significant effects on the value of market participants are observed for the case of market wide price regulation. We conclude that adjusting the current regulatory framework can enhance competition and increase welfare.

基于高频数据的中国国债期货价格发现能力研究

期货的价格发现能力是近几年国际学术界关注的热点问题,但目前理论界相关研究主要集中于商品期货和股指期货,尚缺乏专门针对中国国债期货价格发现方面的研究。随着中国5年期国债期货于2013年9月上市交易,深入研究中国市场结构下的国债期货价格发现能力有助于从微观视角掌握与其它期货品种内在运行规律的差异性。本文运用中国5年期国债期货上市交易后的5分钟高频数据,采取向量误差修正(VECM)模型和Granger因果关系检验等计量分析方法检验中国国债期货与现货价格之间的关系,并创新性地使用共同因子贡献法和信息份额法分析我国国债期货市场与现货市场对价格发现功能的贡献程度。结果表明,中国国债期货价格与现货价格之间存在长期协整关系。中国国债期货价格是现货价格的Granger成因,且两者之间存在单向的价格引导关系。同时通过实证得出中国国债期货市场在对价格发现的贡献程度上占主导地位的结论。     

Modeling carbon spot and futures price returns with GARCH and Markov switching GARCH models

This paper makes use of spot and futures market data to carry out a thorough analysis of the dynamics of carbon price returns in the European Union Emission Trading Scheme for the whole first commitment period from 2008 to 2012. Understanding the properties of carbon price returns is especially crucial for industries which have to comply with an emission trading system and other market participants such as risk managers and speculators. We therefore seek to develop accurate models which capture the behavior of carbon price returns comprehensively. We apply a broad spectrum of GARCH model specifications, using different distributions for model innovations. As both time series, spot and futures price returns, exhibit asymmetric behavior in their variance, we additionally take Markov regime switching models for the variance equation into consideration. Empirical results demonstrate that AGARCH, NARCH and GJR fit the data best. We further show that, in the error term of any model, fat-tailed distributions—in particular the generalized error distribution—significantly improve the fit. Additionally, as futures returns seem to carry informational content concerning subsequent spot returns, we propose a sound, yet parsimonious, spot returns model, well-suited to capturing the dynamics. Finally, the most appropriate models for spot and futures price returns are tested in an out-of-sample environment, and further checked for robustness in data subsets. Subsequently a model for each market is proposed.
