Cash flow and discount rate risk in up and down markets: What is actually priced?

Botshekan, Mahmoud; Kräussl, Roman; Lucas, André - Center for Financial Studies - 2010

We test whether asymmetric preferences for losses versus gains as in Ang, Chen, and Xing (2006) also affect the pricing of cash flow versus discount rate news as in Campbell and Vuolteenaho (2004). We construct a new four-fold beta decomposition, distinguishing cash flow and discount rate betas...

Order exposure and liquidity coordination: Does hidden liquidity harm price efficiency?

Cebiroglu, Gökhan; Hautsch, Nikolaus; Horst, Ulrich - Center for Financial Studies - 2014

We develop a model of an order-driven exchange competing for order flow with off-exchange trading mechanisms. Liquidity suppliers face a trade-off between benefits and costs of order exposure. If they display trading intentions, they attract additional trade demand. We show, in equilibrium,...

Money-back guarantees in individual pension accounts: Evidence from the German pension reform

Maurer, Raimond H.; Schlag, Christian - Center for Financial Studies - 2002

The German Retirement Saving Act instituted a new funded system of supplementary pensions coupled with a general reduction in the level of state pay-as-you-go old-age pensions. In order to qualify for tax relief, the providers of supplementary savings products must offer a guarantee of the...

Money in motion: Dynamic portfolio choice in retirement

Horneff, Wolfram J.; Maurer, Raimond H.; Mitchell, Olivia S. - Center for Financial Studies - 2007

Retirees confront the difficult problem of how to manage their money in retirement so as to not outlive their funds while continuing to invest in capital markets. We posit a dynamic utility maximizer who makes both asset location and allocation decisions when managing her retirement financial...

Multivariate regimeswitching GARCH with an application to international stock markets

Haas, Markus; Mittnik, Stefan - Center for Financial Studies - 2008

We develop a multivariate generalization of the Markov-switching GARCH model introduced by Haas, Mittnik, and Paolella (2004b) and derive its fourth-moment structure. An application to international stock markets illustrates the relevance of accounting for volatility regimes from both a...

Asymmetric multivariate normal mixture GARCH

Haas, Markus; Mittnik, Stefan; Paolella, Marc S. - Center for Financial Studies - 2008

An asymmetric multivariate generalization of the recently proposed class of normal mixture GARCH models is developed. Issues of parametrization and estimation are discussed. Conditions for covariance stationarity and the existence of the fourth moment are derived, and expressions for the dynamic...
