No-arbitrage macro-finance models use variance decompositions to gauge the extent of association between the macro variables and yields. We show that results generated by this approach are sensitive to the order of variables in the recursive identification scheme. In a four-factor model, one may...

We consider the problem of option hedging in a market with proportional transaction costs. Since super-replication is … very costly in such markets, we replace perfect hedging with an expected loss constraint. Asymptotic analysis for small …

We compare the performance of various hedging strategies for index collateralized debt obligation (CDO) tranches across … a variety of models and hedging methods during the recent credit crisis. Our empirical analysis shows evidence for …-dimensional bottom-up models perform better than simpler top-down models. When it comes to hedging, top-down and regression-based hedging …
