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...

Simulated nonparametric estimation of dynamic models with applications to finance

Altissimo, Filippo; Mele, Antonio - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2005

This paper introduces a new class of parameter estimators for dynamic models, called Simulated Nonparametric Estimators (SNE). The SNE minimizes appropriate distances between nonparametric joint (or conditional) densities estimated from sample data and nonparametric joint (or conditional)...

Can rare events explain the equity premium puzzle?

Julliard, Christian; Ghosh, Anisha - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2008

Probably not. First, allowing the probabilities attached to the states of the economy to differ from their sample frequencies, the Consumption-CAPM is still rejected by the data and requires a very high level of Relative Risk Aversion(RRA) in order to rationalize the stock market risk premium....
