Exercise Solution 6.1
- Sufficient price data to construct both a first and second price nearby are only available for dates between July 1998 and June 1999. Accordingly, we use only this data. The resulting price-adjusted first and second nearbys are
| First Nearby | Second Nearby |
---|
Jul-98 | 292.5 | 299.0 |
Aug-98 | 279.1 | 277.5 |
Sep-98 | 259.0 | 261.9 |
Oct-98 | 263.9 | 263.0 |
Nov-98 | 284.4 | 278.2 |
Dec-98 | 299.5 | 290.2 |
Jan-99 | 333.8 | 305.9 |
Feb-99 | 324.7 | 317.0 |
Mar-99 | 328.4 | 323.0 |
Apr-99 | 334.8 | 328.3 |
May-99 | 349.2 | 341.0 |
Jun-99 | 403.6 | 386.6 |
- To calculate return-adjusted nearbys, we use data from June 1998 to June 1999. The resulting first and second return-adjusted nearbys extend from July 1998 to June 1999.
