TY - UNPD A1 - Gaul, Jürgen A1 - Theissen, Erik T1 - A partially linear approach to modelling the dynamics of spot and futures prices T2 - Center for Financial Studies (Frankfurt am Main): CFS working paper series ; No. 2008,12 N2 - In this paper we consider the dynamics of spot and futures prices in the presence of arbitrage. We propose a partially linear error correction model where the adjustment coefficient is allowed to depend non-linearly on the lagged price difference. We estimate our model using data on the DAX index and the DAX futures contract. We find that the adjustment is indeed nonlinear. The linear alternative is rejected. The speed of price adjustment is increasing almost monotonically with the magnitude of the price difference.
