A time homogeneous, purely discontinuous, parsimonous Markov martingale model is proposed for the risk neutral dynamics … additionally reported. It is observed that risk neutral dynamics by and large reflect the presence of momentum in numerous … probabilities. However, there is some reversion in the upper quantiles of risk neutral return distributions …

When the pricing kernel is U-shaped, then expected returns of claims with payout on the upside are negative for strikes beyond a threshold, determined by the slope of the U-shaped kernel in its increasing region, and have negative partial derivative with respect to strike in the increasing...

Allowing for correlated squared returns across two consecutive periods, portfolio theory for two periods is developed. This correlation makes it necessary to work with non-Gaussian models. The two period conic portfolio problem is formulated and implemented. This development leads to a mean ask...

We propose a model of volatility tail behavior, in which the pricing measure dominates the physical measure in both tails of the volatility distribution and, hence, the derived pricing kernel exhibits an increasing and decreasing region in the volatility dimension. The model features investors...

Asset returns are modeled by bilateral gamma processes with zero covariations. Covariances are then observed to be consequences of randomness in variations. Support vector machine regressions on prices are employed to model the implied randomness. The contributions of support vector machine...

Three particular models of dependence in asset returns with non-Gaussian marginals are investigated on daily return data for sector exchange traded funds. The first model is a full rank Gaussian copula (FGC). The second models returns as a linear mixture of independent Lévy processes (LML). The...

Daily asset returns are modeled using self decomposable limit laws and the structure is used to estimate the density of the uncentered data. Estimates of mean returns are a byproduct of the density estimate. Estimates of mean returns via density estimation have significantly lower standard...
