Abstract: Abstract This chapter first discusses four different theoretical models, which include minimum variance, mean-variance, expected utility, and value-at-risk method. Then we use S&P 500 data to show how three alternative estimation methods can be used to estimate hedge ratio. These three methods include OLS method, GARCH method, and cointegration and error correction method. We found that OLS method is not sufficient for estimating hedge ratio.
