Are entrepreneurs more optimistic and overconfident than managers and employees?

Koudstaal, Martin; Sloof, Randolph; Praag, Mirjam van - 2015

others. However, the same holds true for top managers. In this lab-in-the-field experiment we directly compare the scores of … entrepreneurs, managers and employees on a comprehensive set of measures of optimism and overconfidence (n = 2,058). The results … when bad events occur. For incentivized measures of overconfidence we find no difference between entrepreneurs and managers …

Intuitive versus contemplative : do entrepreneurs differ in their decision-making style from managers and employees?

Koudstaal, Martin; Sloof, Randolph; Praag, Mirjam van - 2017

Together these findings tentatively suggest that entrepreneurs start from a stronger prior …

Time-varying combinations of Bayesian dynamic models and equity momentum strategies

Basturk, Nalan; Grassi, Stefano; Hoogerheide, Lennart; … - 2016

A novel dynamic asset-allocation approach is proposed where portfolios as well as portfolio strategies are updated at every decision period based on their past performance. For modeling, a general class of models is specified that combines a dynamic factor and a vector autoregressive model and...

Realized matrix-exponential stochastic volatility with asymmetry, long memory and spillovers

Asai, Manabu; Chang, Chia-Lin; McAleer, Michael - 2016

The paper develops a novel realized matrix-exponential stochastic volatility model of multivariate returns and realized covariances that incorporates asymmetry and long memory (hereafter the RMESV-ALM model). The matrix exponential transformation guarantees the positivedefiniteness of the...

Adaptive polar sampling with an application to a Bayes measure of value-at-risk

Bauwens, Luc; Bos, Charles S.; Dijk, Herman K. van - 1999

Adaptive Polar Sampling (APS) is proposed as a Markov chain Monte Carlomethod for Bayesian analysis of models with ill-behaved posteriordistributions. In order to sample efficiently from such a distribution,a location-scale transformation and a transformation to polarcoordinates are used. After...

Simple market timing with moving averages

Ilomäki, Jukka; Laurila, Hannu; McAleer, Michael - 2018

Consider using the simple moving average (MA) rule of Gartley (1935) to determine when to buy stocks, and when to sell them and switch to the risk-free rate. In comparison, how might the performance be affected if the frequency is changed to the use of MA calculations? The empirical results show...
