This study investigates correlations between India’s bustling single stock futures (SSFs) and its peculiar Badla mechanism. Data from the world’s most active SSF market, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) of India, are used. The results indicated that both the Badla mechanism and the...

The objective of this paper is to estimate the hedge ratios of foreign-listed single stock futures (SSFs) and to compare the performance of risk reduction of different methods. The OLS method and a bivariate GJR-GARCH model are employed to estimate constant optimal hedge ratios and the dynamic...

Bharath and Shumway (2008) provide evidence that shows that it is the functional form of Merton's (1974) distance to default (DD) model that makes it useful and important for predicting defaults. In this paper, we investigate whether the default predictability of the Merton DD model would be...

This research aims to construct a model for pricing counterparty credit risk (CCR) for synthetic collateralized debt obligation (CDO) tranches by considering the relationship between the counterparty and the credit port- folio. A stochastic intensity model is adopted to describe the default...

This paper derives an adjusted Black-Scholes pricing formula. In separating risk and uncertainty using the robust control technique, we find that both uncertainty and risk raise management’s subjective evaluation of real options. We suggest a simple method to filter the risk of the project and...

This paper elucidates the importance of the information content of text information from public sources, including newspapers and corporate filings, has for credit market investors. We adopted news coverage and news tone to quantify text information from news articles. We captured the...

A simple asset pricing model is developed to take into account two important characteristics in global investments: market segmentation and noise trader risk. Our results show the removal of international investment barriers and cross-border listings have not led to a fully integrated...

We solve for an intertemporal portfolio-consumption choice problem under inflation. We assume that the nominal interest rate is observable while the expected inflation rate is not. The inclusion of the indexed bond in the investor's portfolio provides the investor an opportunity to perfectly...
