Title:

Realizing Commodity Correlations<https://www.math.ethz.ch/sfs/news-and-events/research-seminar.html?s=fs16#e_8090>

Abstract:

We propose to use the Realized Beta GARCH model of Hansen et al. (2014) to exploit the potential of using high-frequency data in commodity markets for the modeling of correlations. The model produces accurate forecasts of pairwise correlations between commodities which can be used to construct a composite covariance matrix. We eval- uate the attractiveness of this matrix in a portfolio context and compare it to models more commonly used in the industry. We demonstrate significant economic gains in a realistic setting including short selling constraints and transaction costs. Keywords: Commodities, financialization, futures market. JEL Classification: C53, C58, G12, G13, G15, G17, G32.
