Optimal hedge ratio

Asymmetric Optimal Hedge Ratio with an Application... 

The interested reader can refer to the following literature on the optimal hedge ratio [3,6-8, 10, 11, 15, 17]. 

The rest of the paper is stmctured as follows. Section 2 makes a brief discussion of the optimal hedge ratio including a mathematical derivation of this ratio. Section 3 describes the underlying methodology for estimating the asymmetric OHR, and it also proves mathematically the asymmetric property of the OHR. Section 4 provides an empirical application, and the last section concludes the paper. 

Methodology for Estimating Asymmetric Optimal Hedge Ratio... 

The estimation results for the optimal hedge ratios are presented in Table 19.1. Each value is statistically significant at any conventional significance level. It should be pointed out that the difference between the optimal hedge ratios is not huge in this particular case because the mean values of positive shocks and negative shocks are very close as is indicated in the Table 19.2.
