The objective of this study is to analyze the market efficiency in the futures markets. Although many previous studies have investigated market efficiency between spot and futures prices, that with different maturities has not been studied in the futures markets extensively. For our objective, this paper examines KOSPI200 stock index future market with different maturities. We analyze the dynamic serial relationship of the difference of basis between nearest-month contract and next nearest-month contract using dynamic regression analysis suggested by Kawamoto and Hamori(2011) Using the data from 2000. 1 to 2013. 12, the major empirical findings are as follows: First. the mean and standard deviation of basis of next nearest-month contract is bigger than those of nearest-month contract. Second, the t-period basis of nearest-month contract can be explained by (t-1)period basis of that. Third, the basis spread of t-period and (t-1)period have negative affect on the return of underlying assets. This result is very reasonable because two basis spreads are derived from same underlying assets. Finally, basis information of next nearest-month contract can be used for the prediction of nearest-month contract and spot market return.

This paper investigates whether the futures market responds to the news more sensitively and uses more diverse information than the spot market. The sensitivity to the news is measured by the coefficients of the model which regresses the daily changes in the futures prices to the daily changes in the theoretical prices computed from spot prices using the spot-futures parity. The diversity of news is measured by the mean range differences ($\overline{RD}$), mean hi-price differences($\overline{HD}$) and mean low-price differences. The data in this paper is the closing prices of the nearest-to-maturity and the second-nearest-to-maturity contracts of the KOSPI 200 index futures. As the estimates of the relative sensitivity of the futures prices($^{\beta}$) for the whole-period sample are not significantly different from 1, the sensitivity of two markets to the news are not different. However, $\hat{\beta}$ of the most recent period(Nov. 2002 to Dec. 2005) are strongly different from 1. And, in the most recent period, the futures price changes for the good news, which is defined as the price increase of KOSPI of more than 1.5% in a day, show additional sensitivity. Since the mean range different which measures the relative diversity of information used, are not significantly different from 0 for the whole-period and subperiod samples, and this can be interpreted that the futures market does not use more diverse information than the spot market. However, the mean high-price difference, which measures the relative diversity of good news, are significantly different from 0 for the nearest-maturity contracts in the whole-period and subperiod samples. This evidence supports that the futures prices reflects more diverse good news which brings price increase in the market.

선물시장이 개설된 이후 최근까지 약 2년동안 거래된 주가지수선물 8개의 최근월물에 대한 실제가격과 이론가격과의 괴리율을 분석한 결과 한개의 결제월물을 제외한 1개의 최근월물의 선물가격이 평균적으로 이론가보다 낮게 형성되어 주가지수선물시장이 개설된 이후 대부분의 기간동안 선물가격의 저평가상태가 지속되고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 선물시장이 양적으로 성장한 97년 10월부터 괴리율의 편차가 더 심화되는 경향도 발견되었다. 가격괴리현상을 이용한 차익거래로 실제 수익을 올릴 수 있었는가에 대한 점증에서는 거래비용에서 유리한 위치에 있는 증권회사의 경우 분석대상 총거래일수 544일중에서 차익거래가 가능했던 거래일은 301일이었고, 거래비용측면에서 상대적으로 불리한 일반투자자의 경우에도 총 190일이나 차익거래가 가능했던 것으로 분석되었다. 이처럼 거래비용을 고려하고도 차익거래로 이익을 실현할 수 있는 기회가 즉시에 소멸되지 않고 상당기간동안 지속되는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 기관투자가의 선물에 대한 인식 부족과 증권회사의 공매도 제약 둥과 같은 제도적 요인, 그리고 차익거래 수익의 불확실성 등에 따라 차익거래가 활발하게 이루어지지 못한데서 기인한 것으로 보인다. 가격괴리현상과 선물만기일까지의 잔존기간과의 관계는 유의적이어서, 선물만기일까지 잔존기간이 길수록 괴리율이 더 크고 만기일에 접근함에 따라 괴리율은 감소하였다.

한국시장에서 KOSPI 200 현물과 KOSPI 200 주가지수 선물간의 선 후행성을 실증적으로 분석하기 위하여 1998년 8월부터 1999년 10월까지 KOSPI 200 지수와 유동성이 가장 높은 최근 월물 가격의 5분 간격 자료를 이용하였다. 현 선물 가격의 안정성(stationarity)을 검증한 이후 공적분(cointegration)을 통하여 유도된 오차수정모형(Error Correction Model) 인과관계 회귀식을 GMM(Generalized Method of Moments)으로 추정하여 현 선물간의 선 후행성을 분석하고, 그 원인을 빈번하지 않는 거래(infrequent trading) 문제, 공매의 제약 문제, 거래 활발성의 강도 차이 문제 등의 측면에서 분석하였다. 그 결과 한국시장에서 현 선물간에는 쌍방의 인과 관계가 존재하지만 현물이 선물을 선행하는 정도는 아주 미약하였다. 반면에 선물은 현물을 약 30분 정도 선행하였다. 본 연구의 검증기간과 이용된 자료 내에서 현물이 선물에 대하여 후행하는 주된 원인은 현물시장에 존재하는 공매의 제약과 선물에 비하여 상대적으로 저조한 거래 활발성 때문인 것으로 나타났다. 왜냐하면 현물시장에서 공매가 상대적으로 어려운 시장하락시기에 선물의 선행정도가 통계적으로 유의적이었고, 현물과 선물의 거래가 활발한 시기에는 상호간에 선 후행성이 없었지만 현물의 거래가 비 활발할 경우 선물의 선행이 유의적이었기 때문이다.

In this paper, price discovery between spot and futures in crude oil markets investigated using the Gonzalo and Granger and Hasbrouck common-factor models. The main findings are as follows. 1) Crude oil futures and spot market are cointegrated. 2) Following the preceding studies, we judged that Dubai(WTI) futures markets contribute to the price discovery process than Dubai(WTI) spot market when this Gonzalo-Granger and Hasbrouck information ratio for Dubai(WTI) market are larger than 0.5. In other words, the futures markets of Dubai and WTI plays a more dominant role in price discovery than the spot market. 3) But Brent futures market does not contribute to the price discovery process.

This paper tests the relationship among returns, volatilities, contracts and open interests of KOSPI 200 futures markets with the various dynamic models such as granger-causality, impulse response, variance decomposition and ARMA(1, 1)-GJR-GARCH(1, 1)-M. The sample period is from July 7, 1998 to December 29, 2005. The main empirical results are as follows; First, both contract change and open interest change of KOSPI 200 futures market tend to lead the returns of that according to the results of granger-causality, impulse response and variance decomposition with VAR. These results are likely to support the KOSPI 200 futures market seems to be inefficient with rejecting the hypothesis 1. Second, we also find that the returns and volatilities of the KOSPI 200 futures market are effected by both contract change and open interest change of that due to the results of ARMA(1,1)-GJR-GARCH(1,1)-M. These results also reject the hypothesis 1 and 2 suggesting the evidences of inefficiency of the KOSPI 200 futures market. Third, the study shows the asymmetric information effects among the variables. In addition, we can find the feedback relationship between the contract change and open interest change of KOSPI 200 futures market.
