Financial conditions, macroeconomic factors and (un)expected bond excess returns
Fricke, Christoph; Menkhoff, Lukas - 2014
Bond excess returns can be predicted by macro factors, however, large parts remain still unexplained. We apply a novel … term structure model to decompose bond excess returns into expected excess returns (risk premia) and the unexpected part … possible determinants of bond excess returns. We find that the expected part of bond excess returns is driven by macro factors …

Updating the option implied probability of default methodology
Vilsmeier, Johannes - 2014
In this paper we ‘update’ the option implied probability of default (option iPoD) approach recently suggested in the literature. First, a numerically more stable objective function for the estimation of the risk neutral density is derived whose integrals can be solved analytically. Second,...

Does the timing of labour earnings taxation encroaches upon capital income taxation and individual risk-taking investment decisions, i.e. portfolio selection? This paper presents the results of a laboratory experiment that is, contrary to previous approaches, not restricted to the analysis of...

From imitation to collusion : long-run learning in a low-information environment
Friedman, Daniel; Huck, Steffen; Oprea, Ryan; … - 2012 - August 2012 (revised October 2013)
We explore the stability of imitation in a 1,200-period experimental Cournot game where subjects do not know the payoff function but see the output quantities and payoffs of each oligopolist after every period. In line with theoretical predictions and previous experimental findings, our...
