Risk premia in crude oil futures prices
If commercial producers or financial investors use futures contracts to hedge against commodity price risk, the arbitrageurs who take the other side of the contracts may receive compensation for their assumption of nondiversifiable risk in the form of positive expected returns from their positions. We show that this interaction can produce an affine factor structure to commodity futures prices,...
متن کاملDeterminants of Hedging and Risk Premia in Commodity Futures Markets
This paper examines the determinants of commodity futures hedging and of risk premia arising from covariation of the futures price with stock market returns, and with the reve? nues of producers.

This form of jump-risk premia is important not only in reconciling the dynami...
