closed form solutions to new multi-factor models

Abstract: Long-term forward contract markets are established in several basic commodities, such as crude oil and copper, and have been modelled by several authors using multi-factor models. We review the two- and three-factor stochastic models for forward crude oil and the closed form solutions, and provide solutions for some additional multi-factor models. We believe these additional models reflect the dynamics of the time series of oil prices. Then we derive the "implied parameters" for all of the... (Update)

Our innovations are: providing closed-form solutions to some interesting and relevant multi-factor models, deriving the implied parameters over a sample period, and testing model effectiveness by the time varying errors. We believe this methodology provides several interesting insights into the valuation and effectiveness of long-term forward contracts.
