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...

On the out-of-sample importance of skewness and asymetric dependence for asset allocation

Patton, Andrew J. - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2002

Recent studies in the empirical finance literature have reported evidence of two types of asymmetries in the joint distribution of stock returns. The Þrst is skewness in the distribution of individual stock returns, while the second is an asymmetry in the dependence between stocks: stock...

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)...

Forecasting the density of asset returns

Niguez, Trino-Manuel; Perote, Javier - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2004

In this paper we introduce a transformation of the Edgeworth-Sargan series expansion of the Gaussian distribution, that we call Positive Edgeworth-Sargan (PES). The main advantage of this new density is that it is well defined for all values in the parameter space, as well as it integrates up to...

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....
