摘要: We examine the volatility dynamics of NYMEX natural gas futures prices via partially overlapping time-series model Smith (2005. Journal Applied Econometrics, 20, 405–422). show that exhibits two important features: (1) is greater in winter than summer, and (2) persistence price shocks and, hence, correlations among concurrently traded contracts, displays substantial seasonal cross-sectional variation a way consistent with theory storage. demonstrate that, by ignoring seasonality prices, previous studies have suggested sub-optimal hedging strategies. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
