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...

Do Inflation-Linked Bonds Still Diversify ?.

Brière, Marie; Signori, Ombretta - Université Paris-Dauphine - 2009

The diversifying power of inflation-linked (IL) bonds relative to traditional asset classes has changed significantly. In this paper, we study the dynamics of conditional volatilities and correlations for three asset classes, IL bonds, nominal bonds, and equities, in the USA and Europe. Using a...

Dynamic equilibrium with rare events and heterogeneous Epstein-Zin investors

Chabakauri, Georgy - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2015

We consider a general equilibrium Lucas (1978) economy with one consumption good and two heterogeneous Epstein-Zin investors. The output is subject to rare large drops or, more generally, can have non-lognormal distribution with higher cumulants. The heterogeneity in preferences generates excess...

Home bias, transactions costs, and prospects for the Euro: a more detailed analysis

Mann, Catherine L.; Meade, Ellen E. - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2002

This paper brings together the literature on determination of home bias in equity holdings and the portfolio balance model of exchange rates to consider whether the dollar might be affected by a change in transactions costs that alters international portfolio allocations. Our empirical findings...

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....
