The behavior of a hedge-fund manager naturally depends on her compensation scheme, her preferences, and constraints on her risk-taking. We propose a numerical method which can be used to analyze the impact of these influences. The model leads to several interesting and novel results concerning...

In a continuous time, arbitrage free, non-complete market with a zero bond, we find the intertemporal price for risk to equal the standard deviation of the discounted variance opti- mal martingale measure divided by the zero bond price. We show the Hedging Numeraire to equal the Market Portfolio...

In diesem Beitrag wird untersucht, welchen Einfluss die Entlohnung eines Managers mit Fixum und gewinnbezogenem Bonus auf seinen Arbeitseinsatz und seine Bilanzpolitik ausübt. Dazu wird das LEN-Modell auf die gesamte Lebensdauer des Unternehmens erweitert. Die Gewinnmanipulationen müssen sich...

The CAPM model assumes stock returns to be a linear function of the market return. However, there is considerable evidence that the beta stability assumption commonly used when estimating the model is invalid. Nonparametric regression methods are used to examine the stability of beta...

This paper investigates dynamically optimal risk-taking by an expected-utility maximizing manager of a hedge fund. We examine the effects of variations on a compensation structure that includes a percentage management fee, a performance incentive for exceeding a specified highwater mark, and...
