| Abstract: | This paper develops an equilibrium model of a competitive futures market in which investors trade to hedge positions and to speculate on their private information. Equilibrium return and trading patterns are examined. In markets where the information asymmetry among investors is small, the return volatility of a futures contract decreases with time-to-maturity (i. e., the Samuelson effect holds). |
