Commodity derivatives pricing with inventory effects

Bach, Christian; Dziubinski, Matt P. - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2012

We introduce tractable models for commodity derivatives pricing with inventory and volatility effects, and illustrate with applications to the oil market. We contribute to the existing literature in several respects. First, whereas the previous literature uses futures data for investigating the...

Macro-Finance Determinants of the Long-Run Stock-Bond Correlation: The DCC-MIDAS Specification

Asgharian, Hossein; Christiansen, Charlotte; Hou, Ai Jun - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2014

We investigate the long-run stock-bond correlation using a novel model that combines the dynamic conditional correlation model with the mixed-data sampling approach. The long-run correlation is affected by both macro-finance variables (historical and forecasts) and the lagged realized...

Return predictability and intertemporal asset allocation: Evidence from a bias-adjusted VAR model

Engsted, Tom; Pedersen, Thomas Q. - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2008

We extend the VAR based intertemporal asset allocation approach from Campbell et al. (2003) to the case where the VAR parameter estimates are adjusted for small-sample bias. We apply the analytical bias formula from Pope (1990) using both Campbell et al.'s dataset, and an extended dataset with...

Intertemporal Asset Allocation with Habit Formation in Preferences: An Approximate Analytical Solution

Pedersen, Thomas Q. - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2008

an infinitely-lived investor with power utility defined over the difference between consumption and an external habit …. The investor is assumed to have access to two tradable assets: a risk free asset with constant return and a risky asset … in the investor's habit level. In an empirical application, we calibrate the model to U.S. data and show that habit …

Effects of Macroeconomic Uncertainty upon the Stock and Bond Markets

Asgharian, Hossein; Christiansen, Charlotte; Hou, Ai Jun - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2015

In this paper we show that the long-run stock and bond volatility and the long-run stock-bond correlation depend on macroeconomic uncertainty. We use the mixed data sampling (MIDAS) econometric approach. The findings are in accordance with the flight-to-quality phenomenon when macroeconomic...

Housing market volatility in the OECD area: Evidence from VAR based return decompositions

Engsted, Tom; Pedersen, Thomas Q. - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2013

Vector-autoregressive models are used to decompose housing returns in 18 OECD countries into cash ?ow (rent) news and discount rate (return) news. Only for two countries - Germany and Ireland - do changing expectations of future rents play a dominating role in explaining housing return...

Predicting returns and rent growth in the housing market using the rent-to-price ratio: Evidence from the OECD countries

Engsted, Tom; Pedersen, Thomas Q. - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2012

We investigate the predictive power of the rent-to-price ratio for future real estate returns and rent growth in 18 OECD countries over the period 1970 to 2011. First, we document that in most countries returns are signi?cantly predictable by the rent-price ratio. An increase (decrease) in the...

Explosive bubbles in house prices? Evidence from the OECD countries

Engsted, Tom; Hviid, Simon J.; Pedersen, Thomas Q. - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2015

We conduct an econometric analysis of bubbles in housing markets in the OECD area, using quarterly OECD data for 18 countries from 1970 to 2013. We pay special attention to the explosive nature of bubbles and use econometric methods that explicitly allow for explosiveness. First, we apply the...

Option valuation with the simplified component GARCH model

Dziubinski, Matt P. - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2011

We introduce the Simplified Component GARCH (SC-GARCH) option pricing model, show and discuss sufficient conditions for non-negativity of the conditional variance, apply it to low-frequency and high-frequency financial data, and consider the option valuation, comparing the model performance with...
