We conduct a simulation study based on a dynamic pricing framework that embeds time varying cash flows and discount rates, to study two types of measurement errors in the implied cost of capital methodology. First, the constant term structure assumption significantly reduces the variation in the...

This paper investigates the birth of commodity trading advisors (CTAs) and their flow–performance relation. Specifically, we address three questions. First, we investigate the impact of existing CTAs' performance on the number of new CTAs entering the market. Second, we investigate the...

Using the most comprehensive database on Australian hedge funds, we test the performance persistence for the period July 2000 to June 2005. We employ both parametric and nonparametric approaches to identify persistence. We report evidence of short-term persistence and no evidence of long-term...

Rights offerings in Australia provide valuable choices to the issuer in terms of both underwriting and renounceability. We formulate a set of hypotheses from a quality-signalling perspective, affording an analysis of the key interrelations between quality, underwriting status, renounceability,...

This paper compares the performance of safe haven assets during two stressful stock market regimes – the 2008 Global Financial Crisis (GFC) and COVID-19 pandemic. Our analysis across the ten largest economies in the world shows that the traditional choice, gold, acts as a safe haven during the...

This article empirically investigates the exposure of country-level conditional stock return volatilities to conditional global stock return volatility. It extends the results found in the quot;volatility spilloverquot; literature by providing evidence that conditional stock market return...

We show that option-implied jump tail risk estimated prior to earnings announcements strongly predicts post-earnings risk-adjusted abnormal stock returns. The predictive power of implied jump tail risk is particularly strong on extreme abnormal stock returns whose absolute values exceed 10%. The...
