This paper employs a unique data set to investigate the total price, liquidity and information effects of large institutional trades versus individual trades on three futures contracts traded on the Taiwan Futures Exchange. Several interesting results are obtained. We find that, for the entire...

Aiming to study pricing of long-dated commodity derivatives, this paper presents a class of models within the Heath, Jarrow, and Morton (1992) framework for commodity futures prices that incorporates stochastic volatility and stochastic interest rate and allows a correlation structure between...

Does modelling stochastic interest rates, beyond stochastic volatility, improve pricing performanceon long-dated commodity derivatives? To answer this question, we consider futuresprice models for commodity derivatives that allow for stochastic volatility and stochastic interestrates and a...

This study shows that investor sentiment plays an important role in affecting the pricing dynamics between the spot and futures markets. The empirical evidence suggests that investor sentiment has a positive impact on price volatility and the bid-ask spread on both the spot and futures markets,...

This paper presents an empirical study on hedging long-dated crude oil futures options with forward price models incorporating stochastic interest rates and stochastic volatility. Several hedging schemes are considered including delta, gamma, vega and interest rate hedge. Factor hedging is...
