We focus between Canada and United States in five sectors with substantial shares bilateral two countries. Beside our sectoral approach, contribution is to address econometric problems raised by use proxies for risk using non-parametric approach suggested Pagan Ullah (1988). adopt measures based three-month forecast errors forward market.
