英文摘要 | This paper illustrates that the usual consumer surplus approach to evaluation of the benefits of a futures market fails because of certain unobserved benefits. In particular, when futures markets provide benefits in the form of a reduced variability of future spot prices, the usual consumer surplus approach will systematically understate the benefits of futures markets. |
