We derive a model-free option-based formula to estimate the contribution of market frictions to expected returns (CFER) within an asset pricing setting. We estimate CFER for the U.S. optionable stocks. We document that CFER is sizable, it predicts stock returns and it subsumes the effect of...

We document that a theoretically founded, real-time, and easy-to-implement option-based measure, termed synthetic-stock difference (SSD), accurately estimates the part of stock's expected return arising from stock's transaction costs. We calculate SSD for U.S. optionable stocks. SSD can be more...

Although the properties of the ARCH(∞) model are well investigated, the existence of long memory FIGARCH and IARCH … solution was not established in the literature. These two popular ARCH type models which are widely used in applied literature … exist. Since ARCH models with non-zero intercept have a unique stationary solution and exclude long memory, the existence of …
