Abstract
We conduct simulations to compare the vector autoregression (VAR) and simultaneous equations models (SEM) for examining temporal relationships among arbitrage spreads, spot price volatility, and futures price volatility. Contrary to Koch (1993), we find that the VAR model can better reveal the underlying process, and that SEM can be misleading and may yield unreliable inferences.
