Book Description
This paper undertakes an econometric investigation into the presence of risk premium in commodity futures markets. The statistical tests are derived from a formal model of asset pricing and are applied to futures prices in a variety of commodity markets. The results suggest that for several commodities there is evidence of a time varying risk premium, particularly in futures contracts maturing six months ahead. The implications of the study for the efficiency of the futures markets and the costs of using these markets for hedging are also noted.

Book Description
This paper re-examines the efficiency of foreign currency futures markets by evaluating the role of time-varying risk premia and volatility in explaining technical trading rule profits. The results show that large parts of the technical rule profits can be explained by the time-varying risk premia estimated from a general model for the conditional CAPM: The bootstrap distributions for the profits under the null model average one-third to one-half of the actual profits and enclose the actual profits well within the 90% confidence intervals. Time-varying conditional volatility explains an additional 10% of the profits.

Book Description
The objective of the present study is to examine the price discovery hypothesis in the short sterling futures market. The analytical framework employed, to examine the interaction between spot and futures rates, is based on a VAR cointegration model. The current research takes into account the necessary conditions, when testing the unbiasedness of the futures market, as well as the issues of risk neutrality and the rational use of all available and relevant information. The paper finds that the price discovery hypothesis holds for up to seven weeks prior to maturity of the futures contract. Furthermore, an examination of the sample period over which efficiency does not hold, provides evidence for the presence of time-varying risk premia. The findings also suggest that the premium and the expected spot change volatility are statistically significant, with the former being slightly lower than the latter.

Book Description
We propose an approach to estimate and explain the risk premium in carbon and energy futures markets. First, we develop a parsimonious and robust state space model that allows for a time-varying risk premium and apply it to CO2, oil, and gas futures prices. We find that the risk premia are significantly different from zero, strongly time-varying, and that they differ considerably across markets. The CO2 risk premium is mostly positive whereas the oil and natural gas risk premia tend to fluctuate from positive to negative. Next, we extend the existing literature by explaining the risk premia with several macro-financial variables. We show that interest rate, implied volatility, credit risk, and liquidity are important determinants. Moreover, we provide evidence that announcements regarding the EU emissions trading scheme lower the CO2 risk premium and thereby contribute to more transparency.

Book Description
Term premiums, defined as the excess return of long-dated contracts over short-dated contracts, in commodity futures are strongly predictable, both in the time series and in the cross section, by roll yield spreads. Strategies that exploit this predictability show sizable Sharpe ratios and are uncorrelated with strategies that exploit predictability in risk premiums using the basis in futures prices, that is, use contango and backwardation conditions in futures market to develop their strategies.

Book Description
This paper investigates the sources of time-varying risk and risk premia for both the U.S. stock and bond markets. Although a growing literature has emerged that examines the return and volatility characteristics of the U.S. stock and bond markets separately, little work has appeared that models these markets jointly. This paper proposes a model that provides evidence concerning the sources of time varying risk and risk premia in the markets that considers both markets simultaneously. The model captures the change in the risk premium to each market's own volatility risk as well as to the covariance risk for specific events. We test for the effects of macroeconomic news on time-varying volatility as well as time-varying covariance, and whether such news induces time-varying risk premia in either of the markets. We find that stocks, as opposed to bonds exhibit a change in the risk premium on variance risk on PPI announcement dates. There is also evidence of a change in the bond risk premium on covariance risk on macroeconomic news announcement dates. Employment reports and PPI releases appear as events inducing time-varying conditional variance for stock, Treasury Notes, as well as Treasury Bond returns. Finally, the results do not support the conjecture that conditional covariance of stock and bond returns falls on announcement days.
