We study the empirical performance of the classical minimum-variance hedging strategy, comparing several econometric models for estimating hedge ratios of crude oil, gasoline and heating oil crack spreads. Given the great variability and large jumps in both spot and futures prices, considerable...

In this paper, we explore the strategy on hedging crude oil using refined product. We develop a regime switching asymmetric DCC (RS-ADCC) model by taking into account both of regime switching and asymmetry in correlations. Our out-of-sample findings indicate that RS-ADCC displays greater hedging...
