On the High-Frequency Dynamics of Hedge Fund Risk Exposures
Patton, Andrew J; Ramadorai, Tarun - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2011
We propose a new method to model hedge fund risk exposures using relatively high frequency conditioning variables. In a large sample of funds, we find substantial evidence that hedge fund risk exposures vary across and within months, and that capturing within-month variation is more important...

On the Dynamics of Hedge Fund Risk Exposures
Patton, Andrew J; Ramadorai, Tarun - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2010
We propose a new method to capture changes in hedge funds' exposures to risk factors, exploiting information from relatively high frequency conditioning variables. Using a consolidated database of nearly 15,000 individual hedge funds between 1994 and 2009, we find substantial evidence that hedge...

Performance Measures for Dynamic Portfolio Management
Nielsen, Lars Tyge; Vassalou, Maria - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1998
This paper proposes instantaneous versions of the Sharpe ratio and Jensen’s alpha as performance measures for managed portfolios. Both are derived from optimal portfolio selection theory in a dynamic model. The instantaneous Sharpe ratio equals the discrete Sharpe ratio plus half of the...

Evaluating Style Analysis
de Roon, Frans; Nijman, Theo E; ter Horst, Jenke - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2002
In this Paper we evaluate (return based) style analysis. The portfolio and positivity constraints imposed by style analysis are useful in constructing mimicking factor portfolios without short positions. We use a simple simulation experiment to show that imposing these constraints in estimating...

Judging Fund Managers by the Company They Keep
Cohen, Randolph; Coval, Joshua; Pástor, Luboš - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2003
We develop a performance evaluation approach in which a fund manager's skill is judged by the extent to which his investment decisions resemble the decisions of managers with distinguished performance records. The proposed performance measures are estimated more precisely than standard measures,...

Effect of Regulatory Constraints on Fund Performance: New Evidence from UCITS Hedge Funds
Joenväärä, Juha; Kosowski, Robert - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2015
We economically motivate and then test a range of hypotheses regarding performance and risk differences between UCITS-compliant and other hedge funds. The latter exhibit more suspicious return patterns than do absolute return UCITS (ARUs), but ARUs exhibit higher levels of operational risk. We...

Investment and capital structure of partially private regulated firms
Cambini, Carlo; Spiegel, Yossi - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2011
We develop a model that examines the capital structure and investment decisions of regulated firms in a setting that incorporates two key institutional features of the public utilities sector in many countries: firms are partially owned by the state and regulators are not necessarily...

When bigger isn’t better: Bail outs and bank behaviour
Li, Han Hao; Miller, Marcus; Zhang, Lei - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2011
The traditional theory of commercial banking explains maturity transformation and liquidity provision assuming no asymmetric information and no excess profits. It captures the possibility of bank runs and business cycle risk; but it ignores the moral hazard problems connected with risk-taking by...

Regulation, Privatization, and Airport Charges: Panel Data Evidence from European Airports
Bilotkach, Volodymyr; Clougherty, Joseph A.; Mueller, … - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2011
main empirical results indicate that aeronautical charges are lower at airports when single-till regulation is employed …, when airports are privatized, and -- tentatively -- when ex-post price regulation is applied. Furthermore, hub airports … generally set higher aeronautical charges, and it appears that price-cap regulation and the presence of nearby airports do not …

Effects of Deregulation and Vertical Unbundling on the Performance of China's Electricity Generation Sector
Gao, Hang; Van Biesebroeck, Johannes - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2011
We study whether the 2002 deregulation and vertical unbundling of the Chinese electricity sector has boosted productivity in the generation segment of the industry. Controlling explicitly for sources of price-heterogeneity across firms and for firm-fixed effects, we find deregulation to be...
