Stock Return and Cash Flow Predictability: The Role of Volatility Risk
Bollerslev, Tim; Xu, Lai; Zhou, Hao - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2012
We examine the joint predictability of return and cash flow within a present value framework, by imposing the implications from a long-run risk model that allow for both time-varying volatility and volatility uncertainty. We provide new evidence that the expected return variation and the...

Principal component analysis of equity options on Dow-Jones firms reveals a strong factor structure. The first principal component explains 77% of the variation in the equity volatility level, 77% of the variation in the equity option skew, and 60% of the implied volatility term structure across...

Rare Disasters and Credit Market Puzzles
Christoffersen, Peter; Du, Du; Elkamhi, Redouane - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2013
We embed systematic default, procyclic recovery rates and habit persistance into a model with a slight possibility of a macroeconomic disaster of reasonable magnitude. We derive analytical solutions for defaultable bond prices and show that a single set of structural parameters calibrated to the...

Risk and Return: Long-Run Relationships, Fractional Cointegration, and Return Predictability
Bollerslev, Tim; Osterrieder, Daniela; Sizova, Natalia; … - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2011
The dynamic dependencies in financial market volatility are generally well described by a long-memory fractionally integrated process. At the same time, the volatility risk premium, defined as the difference between the ex-post realized volatility and the market’s ex-ante expectation thereof,...

Construction and Interpretation of Model-Free Implied Volatility
Andersen, Torben G.; Bondarenko, Oleg - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2007
The notion of model-free implied volatility (MFIV), constituting the basis for the highly publicized VIX volatility index, can be hard to measure with accuracy due to the lack of precise prices for options with strikes in the tails of the return distribution. This is reflected in practice as the...

Efficient and accurate log-Lévi approximations to Lévi driven LIBOR models
Papapantoleon, Antonis; Schoenmakers, John; Skovmand, David - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2011
The LIBOR market model is very popular for pricing interest rate derivatives, but is known to have several pitfalls. In addition, if the model is driven by a jump process, then the complexity of the drift term is growing exponentially fast (as a function of the tenor length). In this work, we...

Dynamic Estimation of Volatility Risk Premia and Investor Risk Aversion from Option-Implied and Realized Volatilities
Bollerslev, Tim; Gibson, Michael; Zhou, Hao - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2007
This paper proposes a method for constructing a volatility risk premium, or investor risk aversion, index. The method is intuitive and simple to implement, relying on the sample moments of the recently popularized model-free realized and option-implied volatility measures. A small-scale Monte...
