Abstract
The derivative accounting standard requires hedging to satisfy the 80–125 rule to be eligible to apply the hedge accounting treatment. This means the hedging relationship should achieve hedging effectiveness within the 80%–125% level to qualify for hedge accounting. The appropriateness of this screening criterion is questioned in the existing literature, and there is hardly any empirical evidence to justify the suitability of this threshold level of hedge effectiveness. By applying meta-analysis methodology for 1699 hedge ratios collected from previous academic studies in commodity futures hedging, we show that the average optimal hedge ratio in commodity futures hedging in the academic literature mostly overlaps with the 80–125 threshold.
期刊介绍：
The purpose of the journal is also to stimulate international dialog among academics, industry participants, traders, investors, and policymakers with mutual interests in commodity markets. The mandate for the journal is to present ongoing work within commodity economics and finance. Topics can be related to financialization of commodity markets; pricing, hedging, and risk analysis of commodity derivatives; risk premia in commodity markets; real option analysis for commodity project investment and production; portfolio allocation including commodities; forecasting in commodity markets; corporate finance for commodity-exposed corporations; econometric/statistical analysis of commodity markets; organization of commodity markets; regulation of commodity markets; local and global commodity trading; and commodity supply chains. Commodity markets in this context are energy markets (including renewables), metal markets, mineral markets, agricultural markets, livestock and fish markets, markets for weather derivatives, emission markets, shipping markets, water, and related markets. This interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary journal will cover all commodity markets and is thus relevant for a broad audience. Commodity markets are not only of academic interest but also highly relevant for many practitioners, including asset managers, industrial managers, investment bankers, risk managers, and also policymakers in governments, central banks, and supranational institutions.
