Option listing and underlying commodity futures volatility in China
This study examines the impact of option listing on the volatility of underlying commodity futures markets in China, filling a gap in research on the trading effects of options. We construct the counterfactual volatility for these optioned commodity futures and estimate the average treatment effect of option listing. Our findings reveal a reduction in the volatility of underlying commodity futures after the option listing, a result that withstands various robustness checks. Furthermore, we find the decreased volatility is associated with a lower trading volume in these markets. The declined trading volume may stem from informed traders diverting to option markets and from noise traders being more cautious about trading. Our paper highlights distinct outcomes of option listing, particularly pertinent to emerging derivative markets.
期刊介绍:
Economic Modelling fills a major gap in the economics literature, providing a single source of both theoretical and applied papers on economic modelling. The journal prime objective is to provide an international review of the state-of-the-art in economic modelling. Economic Modelling publishes the complete versions of many large-scale models of industrially advanced economies which have been developed for policy analysis. Examples are the Bank of England Model and the US Federal Reserve Board Model which had hitherto been unpublished. As individual models are revised and updated, the journal publishes subsequent papers dealing with these revisions, so keeping its readers as up to date as possible.
