Abstract: We examine the ability ofidiosyncratic skewness and coskewness to explain the cross section of commodityreturns at the characteristics and factor levels, and find that idiosyncraticskewness is significantly related to the cross section of commodity returns, whereascoskewness is not. Furthermore, we construct a tradeable factor based onidiosyncratic skewness and find that it is significantly pricedcross-sectionally in commodity futures. In addition, a new measure ofidiosyncratic skewness (IE) proposed by Jiang, Wu, Zhou, and Zhu (2018) isstronger and more robust in capturing the skewness or asymmetry effect at boththe characteristics and factor levels.
