We discuss a simple, exactly solvable model of stochastic stock dynamics that incorporates regime switching between healthy and distressed regimes. Using this model, which is analytically tractable, we discuss a way of extracting expected returns for stocks from realized CDS spreads,...

We examine portfolio trading and its impact on corporate bond liquidity. Our theoretical framework identifies how … trading is generally beneficial to bond market liquidity, particularly so for riskier and illiquid bonds. However, we also … show that these positive benefits do not always arise, and that it becomes a costly solution for liquidity provision when …

We consider the problem faced by an investor who must liquidate a given basket of assets over a finite time horizon. The investor's goal is to maximize the expected utility of the sales revenues over a class of adaptive strategies. We assume that the investor's utility has constant absolute risk...

We present comprehensive evidence in support of giving liquidity equal standing to size, value/growth, and momentum as … investment styles, as defined by Sharpe (1992). First, we show that financial market liquidity, as identified by stock turnover …, is an economically significant indicator of long-term returns. Then, we show that liquidity, as a characteristic, is not …

Are the managers of financial institutions ready for the small but increasingly significant risk of inflation in the near future, due to the unprecedented fiscal and monetary responses of the U.S. government to prevent an economic collapse? This paper addresses this important issue by reviewing...

After a market downturn, especially in an uncertain economic environment such as the current state, there can be a relatively long period with a sideways market, where indexes, stocks, etc., move in channels with support and resistance levels. We discuss option pricing in such scenarios, in both...

I compare the timing of information acquisition among institutional investors and sell-side analysts. I find that hedge funds are unique: they anticipate analyst reports, and then reverse their positions after analysts publish reports. These trends are strongest for hedge funds and analysts most...

I compare the timing of information acquisition among institutional investors and sell-side analysts, and I show that hedge fund trades predict the direction of subsequent analyst ratings change reports while other investors' trades do not. In addition, hedge funds reverse trades after analyst...

This paper presents a new transform-based approach for path-independent lattice construction for pricing American options under low-dimensional stochastic volatility models. We derive multidimensional transforms which allow us to construct efficient path-independent lattices for virtually all...
