| Abstract: | Replacement of delivery settlement of futures contracts with cash settlement is frequently proposed to reduce the frequency of market manipulation. This article shows that it is always possible to design a delivery-settled futures contract that is less susceptible to cornerning by a large long than any given cash-settled contract. Such a contract is more susceptible to manipulation by large shorts, however. |
