Abstract Local Whittle Analysis of Unbalanced Fractional Cointegration and the No-Arbitrage Condition,
The no-arbitrage condition between spot and future prices implies an analogous condition on
their underlying volatilities. Interestingly, the long memory behavior of the volatility series also
involves a long-run relationship that allows to test for the no-arbitrage condition by means of
cointegration techniques. Unfortunately, the persistent nature of the volatility can vary with the
future maturity, thereby leading to unbalanced integration orders between spot and future volatility
series. Nonetheless, if a balanced long-run relationship can be recovered by an appropriate filtering
of one of the time series, the cointegration theory applies all the same and unbalanced cointegration
operates between the raw series. In this paper, we introduce a new estimator of unbalanced fractional
cointegration systems that allows to test for the no-arbitrage condition between the crude oil spot
and futures volatilities.
