A TARCH examination of the return volatility-volume relationship in electricity futures

Author

  • Lester Hadsell

Abstract

Four electricity futures markets on NYMEX between 1996 and 1999 are examined using a TARCH model. The evidence suggests traders had an asymmetric reaction to new information. Evidence also is found for a correlation between futures returns and trading volume in two markets (COB and PV).
