This experimental study is concerned with the impact of the timing of the resolution of risk on people’s willingness to … inferred from decisions regarding hypothetical choice problems, we had participants put their own money at risk in a real … period under delayed resolution (which involved two days). Affective traits and risk attitudes were measured through a web …

Recent research reveals that hedge fund returns exhibit a range of different, possibly non-linear pay-off patterns. It is difficult to qualify all these patterns simultaneously as being rational in a traditional framework for optimal financial decision making. In this paper we present a simple...

Contemporary financial stochastic programs typically involve a trade-off between return and (downside)-risk. Using …. We find that the model can be tuned easily using Value-at-Risk (VaR) related benchmarks. In the multi-stage setting, we … formally prove that the optimal solution consists of a sequence of myopic (single-stage) decisions with risk …

Several Bayesian model combination schemes, including some novel approaches that simultaneously allow for parameter uncertainty, model uncertainty and robust time varying model weights, are compared in terms of forecast accuracy and economic gains using financial and macroeconomic time series....

This paper documents that factors extracted from a large set of macroeconomic variables bear useful information for predicting monthly US excess stock returns and volatility over the period 1980-2005. Factor-augmented predictive regression models improve upon both benchmark models that only...
