We consider the behavior of the price of a continuously stored commodity, for which discounted price is a non-constant martingale, and thus not-predictable. We prove that the discounted price realization is within any given neighborhood of zero, with any given probability less than 1, beyond a...

In this paper we investigate portfolio coskewness using a quadratic market model as return generating process. It is shown that portfolios of small (large) firms have negative (positive) coskewness with market. An asset pricing model including coskewness is tested through the restrictions it...

It is well known that the distributions of assets returns have heavier tails than the Gaussian's. To capture such a distributional characteristic, the Generalized Hyperbolic(GH) distribution and its subclasses have been applied to assets returns as the distribution with heavier tails. GH...

In most of the recent macroeconomics literature, the sticky reaction of prices in response to changes in aggregate conditions has been modelled following the highly influential contribution of Calvo (1983). However, this approach has difficulties in accounting for some well-established stylized...

What brings persistence into the macroeconomy? This is one of the big unresolved issues in current macroeconomic theory. Economic models, in fact, typically struggle to imply levels of persistence comparable to those observed in the data. Most of the persistence is therefore introduced by highly...

By using data from surveys of expectations, it is shown that macroeconomic uncertainty, measured by the standard deviation of the expected output growth, the expected unemployment rate, and the expected inflation rate, is negatively related to the expected performance of the economy, proxied by...
