Asymmetric beta comovement and systematic downside risk

Jondeau, Eric; Zhang, Qunzi - 2014

In this paper, we document evidence that downside betas tend to comove more than upside betas during a financial crisis, but upside betas tend to comove more than the downside betas during financial booms. We find that the asymmetry between Downside-Beta Comovement and Upside-Beta Comovement is...

Cross-section without factors : correlation risk, strings and asset prices

Distaso, Walter; Mele, Antonio; Vilkov, Grigory - 2021 - This version: January 13, 2021

Many asset pricing theories treat the cross-section of returns volatility and correlations as two intimately related quantities driven by common factors, which hinders achieving a neat definition of a correlation premium. We formulate a model without factors, but with a continuum of securities...

Predictive power of information market prices

Putintseva, Maria - 2011

Prediction (or information) markets are markets where participants trade contracts whose payoff depends on unknown future events. Studying prediction markets allows to avoid many problems, which arise in some artificially designed behavioral experiments investigating collective decision making...

The changing nature of market risk

Franzoni, Francesco - 2008

In the first three decades of CRSP data, value stocks have higher betas than growth stocks. Later on, the ranking is reversed and the gap in beta widens. What makes growth strategies nowadays bear more market risk than value strategies? What are the causes of the reversal in the ranking of...

Learning about beta: time-varying factor loadings, expected returns, and the conditional CAPM

Adrian, Tobias; Franzoni, Francesco - 2008

We complement the conditional CAPM by introducing unobservable long-run changes in risk factor loadings. In this … variation in betas, our approach circumvents recent criticisms of the conditional CAPM. When tested on portfolios sorted by size … and book-to-market, our learning-augmented conditional CAPM fails to be rejected …

The perils of performance measurement in the German mutual-fund industry

Böhme, Philip; Pohl, Walter; Schmedders, Karl - 2013

We document a curious feature of the German mutual fund industry. Unlike U.S. mutual funds, funds domiciled in Germany do not necessarily compute their net asset values (NAV) as of market close. Using a sample of German equity funds, we infer each fund's NAV closing time from the best-fit market...

Does the pricing kernel anomaly reflect forward looking beliefs?

Sala, Carlo - 2015

We propose a nonparametric Bayesian approach for the estimation of the pricing kernel. Historical stock returns and option market data are combined through the Dirichlet Process (DP) to construct an option-adjusted physical measure. The precision parameter of the DP process is calibrated to the...

Takeover protections and stock returns

Eisdorfer, Assaf; Morellec, Erwan; Zhdanov, Alexei - 2020

We argue that takeover protections decrease equity value and increase equity risk and stock returns by removing a valuable put option to sell equity when firms approach financial distress. We investigate these claims empirically by looking at the dynamics of equity prices, equity risk, and stock...

The acceleration effect and gamma factor in asset pricing

Ardila, Diego; Forró, Zalán; Sornette, Didier - 2015

We report strong evidence that changes of momentum, i.e. "acceleration", defined as the first difference of successive returns, provide better performance and higher explanatory power than momentum. The corresponding Γ-factor explains the momentum-sorted portfolios entirely but not the reverse....

Is the price kernel monotone?

Barone-Adesi, Giovanni; Dall'O, Hakim - 2010

We provide a new method to derive the state price density per unit probability based on option prices and GARCH model. We derive the risk neutral distribution using the result in Breeden and Litzenberger (1978) and the historical density adapting the GARCH model of Barone-Adesi, Engle, and...
