This paper proposes that, and explains why, hedge profits and regression approach hedge ratios should be calculated using cost-of-carry-adjusted price changes. This Modified Regression Method for determining hedge ratios is denoted MRM. The paper discusses the Error-Correction Model for hedge...

This paper studies nonlinear cointegrating models with time-varying coefficients and multiple nonstationary regressors using classic kernel smoothing methods to estimate the coefficient functions. Extending earlier work on nonstationary kernel regression to take account of practical features of...
