Abstract
En 中文
Intraday high and low prices contain valuable information concerning the inference of daily spot-futures covariance structures. This paper employs the dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) model and price range information to estimate spot-futures hedge ratios. Using tick-by-tick data from the US equity index, we conclude that range-based DCC models outperform the return-based DCC model in terms of out-of-sample realized hedged portfolio variance. The findings may help hedgers construct their hedged portfolios more effectively, particularly during turbulent market phases.
