<Dear Visit
<
<The results you have obtained are usually caused by regressing the lagged
<return instead of the leading return. That is you must regress the return of
<the period following the log price against which you regressing:
<
<dx = x(t+dt) - x(t) against x(t)
<
<Hope this helps.
<
<Regards

<Les.

< Dear All,
<
< My mane is Visit Phunnarungsi. I used to e-mail Vince Kaminski about the
<advice on his article "The Challenge of Pricing and Risk Managing
<Electricity Derivatives" and he had mailed me the copy.
<
< I am now modelling the Queensland electricity spot price using Geometric
<Brownian Mean Reverting Jump Diffusion Model and have followed your paper
<"Making the most of mean reversion" to estimate the mean reversion speed. I
<use Queensland half-hourly price during 13 December, 1998-30 June 2001
<giving about 44,000 price observations.
<
< However, the result from Ordinary Least Squares was not as expected due to
<different sign for both slope & intercept. The coefficient and standard
<error are as followed:
<
< Intercept: -0.3931 (0.0076)
<
< Slope: 0.1171 (0.0022)
<
< R Square: 0.0585
<
< Therefore I could not estimate the mean reversion rate as the estimated
<slope has the positive sign. I have also tried monthly data and the results
<are the same. It would be appreciated if you could advice me on this matter.

< Kindest regards,
