Abstract
In this article, we develop an optimal hedging ratio model with skewness and derive the analytical solution of the optimal hedging ratio which can degenerate to mean-variance hedging ratio when co-skewnesses of spot and futures returns become zero. The empirical results suggest that the hedging model with skewness performs better than the traditional mean-variance hedging model.
