The mixture structure of the generalized hyperbolic distribution of Barndorff-Nielsen (1997) is explored to quantify the contemporaneous correlation between return and volatility and to identify the effects of volatility feedback and risk premium within GARCH models. The statistical analysis of...

Identification through heteroskedasticity in heteroskedastic simultaneous equations models (HSEMs) is considered. The possibility that heteroskedasticity identifies the structural parameters only partially is explicitly allowed for. The asymptotic properties of the identified parameters are...

The risk return relationship is analysed in bivariate models for return and realised variance (RV) series. Based on daily time series from 21 international market indices for more than 13 years (January 2000 to February 2013), the empirical findings support the arguments of risk return tradeoff,...

While the risk return trade-off theory suggests a positive relationship between the expected return and the conditional volatility, the volatility feedback theory implies a channel that allows the conditional volatility to negatively affect the expected return. We examine the effects of the risk...

The idea of identifying structural parameters via heteroskedasticity is explored in the context of binary choice models with an endogenous regressor. Sufficient conditions for parameter identification are derived for probit models without relying on instruments or additional restrictions. The...
