Can Capital Markets Create Incentives for Pollution Control?

Lanoie, Paul; Laplante, Benoit; Roy, Maité - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 1997

It has been observed that upon trading-off the costs and benefits of pollution control, profit-maximizing firms may choose not to invest their resources in pollution abatement since the expected penalty imposed by regulators falls considerably short of the investment costs. Regulators have...

Models for Bundle Trading in Financial Markets

Abrache, Jawad; Crainic, Teodor Gabriel; Gendreau, Michel - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2002

Bundle trading is a new trend in financial markets that allows traders to submit consolidated orders to sell and buy packages of assets. We propose a new formulation for portfolio bundle trading that extends the previous models of the literature through a more detailed representation of...

Exchange rates and commodity prices: measuring causality at multiple horizons

Zhang, Hui Jun; Dufour, Jean-Marie; Galbraith, John - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2013

Understanding and measuring the relative roles of different causal channels between commodity prices and exchange rates has important implications in financial decision making, especially for market participants with short horizons. From a macroeconomic perspective, this can also be useful for...

Option-Implied Measures of Equity Risk

Chang, Bo-Young; Christoffersen, Peter; Jacobs, Kris; … - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2009

Equity risk measured by beta is of great interest to both academics and practitioners. Existing estimates of beta use historical returns. Many studies have found option-implied volatility to be a strong predictor of future realized volatility. We .nd that option-implied volatility and skewness...

Exact skewness-kurtosis tests for multivariate normality and goodness-of-fit in multivariate regressions with application to asset pricing models

Dufour, Jean-Marie; Khalaf, Lynda; Beaulieu, Marie-Claude - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2003

Dans cet article, nous proposons des tests sur la forme de la distribution des erreurs dans un modèle de régression linéaire multivarié (RLM). Les tests que nous développons sont fonction des résidus obtenus par moindres carrés multivariés, lesquels sont standardisés de façon à ce que...

Finite-Sample Diagnostics for Multivariate Regressions with Applications to Linear Asset Pricing Models

Dufour, Jean-Marie; Khalaf, Lynda; Beaulieu, Marie-Claude - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2003

In this paper, we propose several finite-sample specification tests for multivariate linear regressions (MLR) with applications to asset pricing models. We focus on departures from the assumption of i.i.d. errors assumption, at univariate and multivariate levels, with Gaussian and non-Gaussian...

Dynamic Price Dependence of Canadian and International Art Markets: An Empirical Analysis

Hodgson, Douglas James; Seckin, Aylin - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2011

Although the market for Canadian paintings is now of substantial magnitude, with several works having recently sold for well over a million dollars, it remains true that with very few exceptions, the works of Canadian painters are bought and sold only in Canada and held only by Canadian...

Identification-robust estimation and testing of the zero-beta CAPM

Beaulieu, Marie-Claude; Dufour, Jean-Marie; Khalaf, Lynda - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2011

We propose exact simulation-based procedures for: (i) testing mean-variance efficiency when the zero-beta rate is unknown, and (ii) building confidence intervals for the zero-beta rate. On observing that this parameter may be weakly identified, we propose LR-type statistics as well as...
