摘要
We estimate oil price risk exposures of the U.S. oil and gas sector using the FamaFrench-Carhart's four-factor asset pricing model augmented with oil price and interest rate factors. Results show that the market, book-to-market, and size factors, as well as momentum characteristics of stocks and changes in oil prices are significant determinants of returns for the sector. Oil price risk exposures of U. S. oil and gas companies in the oil and gas sector are generally positive and significant. Our study also finds that oil price risk exposures vary considerably over time, and across firms and industry subsectors.
