摘要
Regression- based testing techniques have long been used to quantify whether the efficient frontier of a set of assets spans the frontier of a larger collection of investments. This paper derives regression-based spanning tests for the case in which the investment possibilities set contains, or is constituted by, futures contracts for which marked-to-market margins are explicitly taken into account. Two empirical applications illustrate our results. (C) 2012 The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
