Mortgage‐Backed Futures and Options
实证检验了芝加哥期货交易所1989至1992年间交易的抵押贷款支持期货期权的定价模型，发现简单或有债权模型能无偏估计实际期权价格，并评估了该期货对GNMA证券的套期保值效果。
This paper empirically tests valuation models for the mortgage‐backed futures‐options contracts that traded on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) from June of 1989 until March of 1992. A simple contingent‐claim model is shown to produce call option values on mortgage‐backed futures (MBF) contracts that are unbiased estimates of actual futures‐options prices. The ability of the MBF contract to hedge positions in current coupon Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) securities relative to the effectiveness of cross‐hedging GNMA positions with T‐note and T‐bond futures contracts is also examined.
