Empirical study of speculation roles in international copper price bubble formation

投机行为在国际期铜价格泡沫形成中的作用(英文)

By using GARCH（1,1）-M and EGARCH（1,1）-M models, the relationships among funds speculation transaction, arbitrage transaction and the fluctuation of international copper future price were studied. The news impact curve of copper future price fluctuation respectively introduced funds speculation position and arbitrage position was given, and the result is consistent with the empirical study conclusion. The results show that investment funds are not the factor that causes copper future price fluctuation, but can reduce the copper future price fluctuation; the copper future price fluctuation is more sensitive to negative information, and ftmd speculative positions can reduce asymmetric effect of copper price fluctuation, while fimds arbitrage position influences less.

采用GARCH(1,1)-M及EGARCH(1,1)-M模型研究投资基金投机交易、套利交易与国际期铜价格波动的关系,并分别给出引入基金投机持仓、套利持仓后的期铜价格波动信息冲击曲线,其描述结果与实际研究结论的表现一致。结果表明:投资基金不是引起期铜价格波动的原因,基金投机交易能够减小期铜价格波动;期铜价格波动对负面消息的影响更敏感,基金投机持仓能够减缓期铜价格波动的非对称效应,而基金套利持仓对此影响较小。
