On the use of numeraires in option pricing
Benninga, Simon (contributor); Björk, Tomas (contributor);  … - 2001 - [Elektronische Ressource]
In this paper we discuss the significant computational simplification that occurs when option pricing is approached through the change of numeraire technique. The original impetus was a recently published paper (Hoang, Powell, Shi 1999) on endowment options; in the present paper we extend these...

The valuation of corporate liabilities : theory and tests
Ericsson, Jan (contributor); Reneby, Joel (contributor) - 2001 - [Elektronische Ressource], First version: February 2001, Rev. January 7, 2003
We develop a structural bond pricing approach and implement it on a large panel of US industrial bonds using an efficient maximum likelihood methodology. We evaluate the model's ability to predict yield spread levels and changes out-of-sample. Errors are smaller and distinctly less variable than...

Is there evidence of pessimism and doubt in subjective distributions? : a comment on Abel
Giordani, Paolo (contributor); Söderkind, Paul (contributor) - 2002 - [Elektronische Ressource], Rev. October 1, 2003
Abel (2002) shows that pessimism and doubt in the subjective distribution of the growth rate of consumption reduce the riskfree rate puzzle and the equity premium puzzle. We quantify the amount of pessimism and doubt in survey data on US consumption and income. Individual forecasters are in fact...

Asymptotic properties of the maximum likelihood estimator of random effects models with serial correlation
Skoglund, Jimmy (contributor); Karlsson, Sune (contributor) - 2001 - [Elektronische Ressource]
This paper considers the large sample behavior of the maximum likelihood estimator of random effects models with serial correlation in the form of AR(1) for the idiosyncratic or time-specific error component. Consistent estimation and asymptotic normality as N and/or T grows large is established...

Specification and estimation of random effects models with serial correlation of general form
Skoglund, Jimmy (contributor); Karlsson, Sune (contributor) - 2001 - [Elektronische Ressource]
This paper is concerned with maximum likelihood based inference in random effects models with serial correlation. Allowing for individual effects we introduce serial correlation of general form in the time effects as well as the idiosyncratic errors. A straightforward maximum likelihood...

A simple efficient GMM estimator of GARCH models
Skoglund, Jimmy (contributor) - 2001 - [Elektronische Ressource]
This paper is concerned with efficient GMM estimation and inference in GARCH models. Sufficient conditions for the estimator to be consistent and asymptotically normal are established for the GARCH(1,1) conditional variance process. In addition efficiency results are obtained in the general...

A note on the pricing of real estate index linked swaps
Björk, Tomas (contributor); Clapham, Eric (contributor) - 2002 - [Elektronische Ressource]
In this paper we discuss the pricing of commercial real estate index linked swaps (CREILS). This particular pricing problem has been studied by Buttimer et al. (1997) in a previous paper. We show that their results are only approximately correct and that the true theoretical price of the swap is...

General quadratic term structures of bond, futures and forward prices
Gaspar, Raquel M. (contributor) - 2004 - [Elektronische Ressource]
For finite dimensional factor models, the paper studies general quadratic term structures. These term structures include as special cases the affine term structures and the Gaussian quadratic term structures, previously studied in the literature. We show, however, that there are other,...
