7 Background Commodity contracts exhibit certain empirical regularities: mean-reversion and convenience yield in spot prices, backwardation, contango and decreasing volatility term structure (Samuelson Effect) in futures prices There is a significant body of literature on commodity price modeling that attempts to capture these empirical observations Modeling efforts are broadly categorized into two groups: 1. Reduced-form models that characterize the spot price as the solution to an SDE: Schwartz 1997, Schwartz & Smith 2000, Hilliard & Reis Structural models that explicitly capture the supply - demand intraction, market mode (monopoly, oligopoly or competitive) and other economic dynamics: Sundaresan 1984, Reinganum & Stokey 1985, Dockner et al. 2001, Sircar et al. 2009
8 Research Motivation While reduced-form and structural models are somehow connected (economic intuition underlying both types of models is similar), there does not appear to be an attempt to formally unite them. The research motivation for this work is this absence of investigation into the precise relationship between reduced form and structural models of commodity prices.
9 Literature Review (1/2) Schwartz 1997 reviews multi-factor commodity spot price models:
10 Literature Review (1/2) Schwartz 1997 reviews multi-factor commodity spot price models: One-factor exponential Ornstein-Uhlenbeck mean-reverting model for the commodity spot price: ds t = κ (µ ln (S t)) S tdt + σs tdz t

Three-factor model w/ stochastic convenience yield and interest rates: ds t = (r t δ t) S tdt + σ 1 dzt 1 dδ t = κ (ˆα δ t) dt + σ 2 dzt 2 dr t = α (m r) dt + σ 3 dzt 3 where dzt 1dZ t 2 = ρ 1 dt, dzt 2dZ t 3 = ρ 2 dt and dzt 1dZ t 3 = ρ 3 dt.
13 Literature Review (2/2)
14 Literature Review (2/2) Schwartz & Smith 2000 proposes a two factor model w/o a stochastic convenience yield term: S t = exp (χ t + γ t) dχ t = κχ tdt + σ χdz χ t dγ t = µ γdt + σ γdz γ t where dz χ t dz γ t = ρ χγdt. This model is shown to be equivalent to the two-factor model proposed in Schwartz 1997 under linear transformations of the parameters.

Letting T 1, T 2,... be the arrival times of the Poisson process, the sequence of θ T1, θ T2,... is i.i.d. and θ Ti N (µ θ, σ θ ) i
32 Model Definitions (2/2)
33 Model Definitions (2/2) As long term demand for the resource is linked to stable consumption levels, demand shocks are temporary in nature and should be mean-reverting, characterizing the demand shock process (ɛ t) t 0 as a mean-zero OU process: where dw tdz t = ρdt dɛ t = αɛ tdt + σ ɛdz t

36 Problem Formulation Player i s value function Jt i at time t is defined as: [ ( ) ] Jt i (x, ɛ) = E e rs U i (X s, ɛ s) exp (ɛ s) log N t j=1 U ds X t = x, ɛ t = ɛ j (X s, ɛ s) s.t. dx t = ( ) N ( ) U i (X t, ɛ t) dt + σ X X tdw t + e θt 1 X tdn t i=1 dɛ t = αɛ tdt + σ ɛdz t, dw tdz t = ρdt Since (W t) t 0 and (Z t) t 0 are correlated, we can define a new Brownian motion ( ) W t that is independent of both (Wt) t 0 and (Zt) t 0 and represent t 0 dz t = ρdw t + ( 1 ρ 2) 1/2 d Wt. The objective of player i is to find optimal strategy Ui such that: Jt i ( x, ɛ U i, U i ) ( J i t x, ɛ Ui, U i ) Ui U i and t where U i = (U 1,..., U i 1, U i+1,..., U N ). ( ) We define Vt i t x, ɛ Ui, U i as the optimal value function for player i.
37 Solution Overview We take the stochastic dynamic programming approach and write the HJB equation for player i s optimal value function Vt i (x, ɛ) at time t: [ ( )] sup G Vt i (x, ɛ) rv i U i (x, ɛ) exp (ɛ) t (x, ɛ) + log U i U i U i (x, ɛ) + = 0 N j=1,j i U j (x, ɛ) where G is the infinitesimal generator. For brevity, drop the function parameters x, ɛ, then G Vt i is given by PIDE: G Vt i = N U i Uj V t i V i t αɛ x ɛ Vt i 2 x 2 σ2 X x2 j=1,j i Vt i 2 ɛ 2 σ2 ɛ + 2 Vt i [ ] x ɛ σ X σ ɛρx + γe Vt i + V i t where V i t + = Vt ( xe θ, ɛ θ t = θ ) accounting for the jump. We proceed with the solution by fixing and differentiating the HJB equation w.r.t. U i and then looking for a symmetric solution of the type U i = U j i, j [1,..., N].

39 Symmetric Nash Equilibrium Solution The optimal value function of player i is: Vt i (x, ɛ) = 1 ( ) 1 r 2 N σ2 X 4r 2 + γ µ θ 2r ( 2r log x r ) N 2 (2N 1) + ɛ α + r
40 Symmetric Nash Equilibrium Solution The optimal value function of player i is: Vt i (x, ɛ) = 1 ( ) 1 r 2 N σ2 X 4r 2 + γ µ θ 2r ( 2r log x r ) N 2 (2N 1) + ɛ α + r The Markov optimal extraction strategy is: U i (x, ɛ) = rx 2N 1 N which is independent of the demand uncertainty ɛ.
41 Symmetric Nash Equilibrium Solution The optimal value function of player i is: Vt i (x, ɛ) = 1 ( ) 1 r 2 N σ2 X 4r 2 + γ µ θ 2r ( 2r log x r ) N 2 (2N 1) + ɛ α + r The Markov optimal extraction strategy is: U i (x, ɛ) = rx 2N 1 N which is independent of the demand uncertainty ɛ. The law of motion of the resource stock under optimal extraction behavior by players is: ( ) dx t = r (2N 1) X tdt + σ X X tdw t + e θt 1 X tdn t
42 Symmetric Nash Equilibrium Solution The optimal value function of player i is: Vt i (x, ɛ) = 1 ( ) 1 r 2 N σ2 X 4r 2 + γ µ θ 2r ( 2r log x r ) N 2 (2N 1) + ɛ α + r The Markov optimal extraction strategy is: U i (x, ɛ) = rx 2N 1 N which is independent of the demand uncertainty ɛ. The law of motion of the resource stock under optimal extraction behavior by players is: ( ) dx t = r (2N 1) X tdt + σ X X tdw t + e θt 1 X tdn t The law of motion of the spot price of the resource is: ( αɛ t r (2N 1) σ2 ɛ 1 2 σɛσ X ρ σ2 X dp t p t = ) dt ( σ ɛρ 1 ) 2 σ ( X dw t + σ ɛ 1 ρ 2 ) ( ) 1/2 d Wt + e 2 1 θt 1 dn t ( ) where Wt and (Wt) t 0 are independent Brownian motions. t 0
43 Key Results (1/2) Derivation of generalized Schwartz 1997 one-factor model If you assume in the Dynamic Cournot model that there is no supply-side uncertainty and the only uncertainty is that of demand uncertainty, then we pick the parameters σ X = 0, θ t = 0 t and ρ = 0. Then, based on the solutions on the prior page, X t = x 0 exp ( rt (2N 1)), with X 0 = x 0 ( ( p t = (rx 0 (2N 1)) 1/2 exp rt N 1 ) ) + ɛ t 2 ( dp t = αɛ t + 1 p t 2 r (2N 1) + 1 ) 2 σ2 ɛ dt + σ ɛd W t Rewriting ɛ t in terms of p t and then plugging into expression for dp t/p t Dynamic Cournot model : dp t = α (µ (t) log (p t)) p tdt + σ ɛp td W t Schwartz one-factor model : ds t = κ (µ log (S t)) S tdt + σs tdz t where µ (t) = r ( N 1 2 ) ( 1 α + t) + σ2 ɛ 2α 1 2 log (rx 0 (2N 1)).
