Strategic investment, industry concentration and the cross section of returns
Bustamante, Maria Cecilia - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2011
This paper provides an alternative real options framework to assess how firms' strategic interaction under imperfect competition a¤ects the industrial dynamics of investment, concentration, and expected returns. When firms have similar production technologies, the cross sectional variation in...

Macro-Finance Determinants of the Long-Run Stock-Bond Correlation: The DCC-MIDAS Specification
Asgharian, Hossein; Christiansen, Charlotte; Hou, Ai Jun - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2014
We investigate the long-run stock-bond correlation using a novel model that combines the dynamic conditional correlation model with the mixed-data sampling approach. The long-run correlation is affected by both macro-finance variables (historical and forecasts) and the lagged realized...

Quantiles of the Realized Stock-Bond Correlation and Links to the Macroeconomy
Aslanidis, Nektarios; Christiansen, Charlotte - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2012
This paper adopts quantile regressions to scrutinize the realized stock-bond correlation based upon high frequency returns. The paper provides in-sample and out-of-sample analysis and considers a large number of macro-?nance predictors well-know from the return predictability literature. Strong...

Information and Heterogeneous Beliefs: Cost of Capital, Trading Volume, and Investor Welfare
Christensen, Peter O.; Qin, Zhenjiang - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2012
In an incomplete market setting with heterogeneous prior beliefs, we show that public information can have a substantial impact on the ex ante cost of capital, trading volume, and investor welfare. In a model with exponential utility investors and an asset with a normally distributed dividend,...

Risk-Return Trade-Off for European Stock Markets
Aslanidis, Nektarios; Christiansen, Charlotte; Savva, … - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2013
This paper adopts dynamic factor models with macro-fi?nance predictors to revisit the intertemporal risk-return relation in ?five large European stock markets. We identify country specifi?c, Euro area, and global factors to determine the conditional moments of returns considering the role of...

Heterogeneous Beliefs, Public Information, and Option Markets
Qin, Zhenjiang - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2012
In an incomplete market setting with heterogeneous prior beliefs, I show that public information and strike price of option have substantial infl?uence on asset pricing in option markets, by investigating an absolute option pricing model with negative exponential utility investors and normally...

Does Realized Skewness Predict the Cross-Section of Equity Returns?
Amaya, Diego; Christoffersen, Peter; Jacobs, Kris; … - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2013
We use intraday data to compute weekly realized variance, skewness, and kurtosis for equity returns and study the realized moments? time-series and cross-sectional properties. We investigate if this week?'s realized moments are informative for the cross-section of next week'?s stock returns. We...

Continuous Trading Dynamically Effectively Complete Market with Heterogeneous Beliefs
Qin, Zhenjiang - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2012
In a framework of heterogeneous beliefs, I investigate a two-date consumption model with continuous trading over the interval [0; T], in which information on the aggregate consumption at time T is revealed by an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Bridge. This information structure allows investors to speculate...

Rational trader risk
Kondor, Peter - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2004
Allowing for a richer information structure than usual, we show that rational traders’ calculation with short-term price fluctuations may heavily influence their behaviour even if the interim price is not influenced by non-rational agents i.e. there is no noise trader risk. Instead, traders...

Conservatism in Corporate Valuation
Bach, Christian - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2011

I compare the pricing performance of the model with the standard CAPM based valuation … model, both considering the absolute valuation errors and an investment setting where simple investment strategies are made … comparing absolute valuation errors. Both models are able to explain abnormal returns impressively well, when constructing …
