In this paper, we deal with the problem of deciding a hedging volatility for ATM plain options when we hedge those options based on geometric Brownian motion. For this, we study the relation between hedging volatility and hedge profit&loss(P&L) as well as perform Monte Carlo simulations and real data analysis to examine how differently hedge P&L is affected by the selection of hedging volatility. In conclusion, using a relatively low hedging volatility is found to be more favorable for hedge P&L when underlying asset prices are expected to be range bound; however, a relatively high volatility is found to be favorable when underlying asset prices are expected to move on a trend.

Almost all business are affected by the weather so that weather derivatives has been traded to hedge weather risk. Since the weather itself is not an asset with a market price, some analysts believe that the Black-Scholes equation could not be used appropriately to price weather derivative options. But some weather derivatives can be considered as an Asian option, we revisit the Black-scholes model. Numerical solution of the Black-Scholes equation has a significant error at the money option or around the money option, it is necessary to adopt adaptive mesh near to the strike value. Here we propose a numerical method with an adaptive grid refinement.

포트폴리오의 위험을 통제하거나 감소시키기 위해서 헤저들은 최적헤지비율을 추정하여야 하는데, 최적헤지비율의 추정치는 사용하는 모형에 따라 많은 차이를 보인다. 전통적인 회귀분석모형에 의하여 추정된 최적헤지비율은 시계열자료의 불안정성(nonstationary) 등으로 인하여 잘못될 가능성이 많으며, 잘못 추정된 헤지비율을 그대로 이용할 경우 현물포트폴리오의 시장위험을 최소화시키지 못하고 헤징비용을 증가시키는 결과를 초래한다. 시계열자료의 불안정성으로 말미암아 야기되는 문제점들을 개선할 수 있는 모형으로서 오차 수정모형(Error Correction Model : ECM)이 널리 이용되고 있다. 본 연구는 ECM을 사용하여 추정된 최적헤지비율과 전통적 회귀분석모형을 사용하여 추정한 최적헤지비율을 비교하여 어떤 모형으로 추정한 헤지비율이 더 정확한지를 평가하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 즉, 본 연구는 KOSPI 200 현 선물지수 자료를 대상으로 ECM과 전통적 회귀분석모형에 의한 최적헤지비율을 추정하고 각 모형의 설명력과 예측력을 비교하고자 한다. 실증분석 결과, KOSPI 200 현물지수와 KOSPI 200 선물지수간에는 공적분 관계가 존재하며, ECM과 전통적 회귀분석모형을 이용하여 추정한 최적헤지비율의 크기는 서로 다르며, ECM을 이용할 때 모형의 설명력이 조금 더 높게 나타났으며, 예측력도 ECM이 좀더 우월한 것으로 나타났다.

This study is to estimate and compare hedging effectiveness in emerging currency and advanced currency futures markets. Emerging currency futures includes Korea won, Mexico peso, and Brazil real and advanced currency futures is Europe euro, British pound, and Japan yen. Hedging effectiveness is measured by comparing hedging performance of the naive hedge model, OLS model, error correction model and constant condintional correlation bivariate GARCH(1, 1) hedge model based on rolling windows. Analysis data is used daily spot and futures rates from January, 2, 2001 to March. 10, 2006. The empirical results are summarized as follows : First, irrespective of hedging period and model, hedging using Korea won/dollar futures reduces spot rate's volatility risk by 97%. Second, Korea won/dollar futures market produces the best hedging performance in emerging and advanced currency futures markets, i.e. Mexico peso, Brazil real, Europe euro, British pound, and Japan yen. Third, there are no difference of hedging effectiveness among hedging models.

This paper uses both the bivariate GARCH type BEKK error correction model and Bivariate-AR(1)-Markov-Switching-VECM model to estimate the volatility, time-varying correlation and hedge ratio for the KTB spot and futures indexes, sampled daily over 1/4/2000-10/30/2003. This study suggests that the volatility regime has more significant influence on KTB markets than incline/decline regime does. The results support the importance of the bivariate model in stead of univariate model between KTB spot and futures markets, which may consider not only individual variance process but also covariance process at the same time.
