Downside Risk and the Energy Hedger’s Horizon

Conlon, Thomas ; Cotter, John (University College Dublin Geary Institute, 2012-08)

In this paper, we explore the impact of investor time-horizon on an optimal downside hedged energy portfolio. Previous studies have shown that minimum-variance hedging effectiveness improves for longer horizons using variance ...
An empirical analysis of dynamic multiscale hedging using wavelet decomposition

Conlon, Thomas ; Cotter, John (Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-03-07)

This paper investigates the hedging effectiveness of a dynamic moving window OLS hedging model, formed using wavelet decomposed time-series. The wavelet transform is applied to calculate the appropriate dynamic minimum-variance ...
