The impact of news on higher moments
Jondeau, Eric (contributor); Rockinger, Michael (contributor) - 2006
In this paper, we extend the concept of News Impact Curve developed by Engle and Ng (1993) to the higher moments of the multivariate returns' distribution, thereby providing a tool to investigate the impact of shocks on the characteristics of the subsequent distribution. For this purpose, we...

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 … infer each fund's NAV closing time from the best-fit market model using both maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimation. The … results of both approaches coincide perfectly and show that all but one of the funds domiciled in Germany report intraday NAVs …

Arbitraging the Basel Securitization Framework : evidence from German ABS investment
Efing, Matthias - 2014
If regulation fails to differentiate between priced and idiosyncratic risk, it incentivizes investors to reach for yield. Studying securitization exposures on the balance sheets of German banks, I show evidence consistent with this prediction. Banks with tight regulatory constraints (low capital...

Küng, Lorenz; Yang, Mu-Jeung; Hong, Bryan - 2017

Management practices and M&A success
Delis, Manthos D.; Iosifidi, Maria; Kazakis, Pantelis; … - 2021
We study whether management practices determine merger and acquisition (M&A) success. We model management as an unobserved (latent) variable in a standard microeconomic model of the firm and derive firm-year management estimates. We validate these estimates against benchmark survey data on...

Dynamic capital structure under managerial entrenchment : evidence from a structural estimation
Morellec, Erwan; Nikolov, Boris; Schürhoff, Norman - 2009
We develop a dynamic tradeoff model to examine the importance of manager-shareholder conflicts in capital structure choice. Using panel data on leverage choices and the model's predictions for different statistical moments of leverage, we show that while refinancing costs help explain the...

A consistent model of "explosive" financial bubbles with mean-reversing residuals
Lin, Li; Ren, Ruoen; Sornette, Didier - 2009
We present a self-consistent model for explosive financial bubbles, which combines a mean-reverting volatility process and a stochastic conditional return which reflects nonlinear positive feedbacks and continuous updates of the investors' beliefs and sentiments. The conditional expected returns...

Linkages between direct and securitized real estate
Oikarinen, Elias; Hoesli, Martin; Serrano, Camilo - 2009
Using data for the 1978-2008 period, this study presents evidence for cointegration between securitized (NAREIT) and direct (NCREIF) total return indices. Cointegration between the indices indicates that REITs and direct real estate are substitutable in the portfolio of a long-horizon...
