The record-breaking prices observed in the art market over the last three years raise the question of whether we are experiencing a speculative bubble. Given the difficulty to determine the fundamental value of artworks, we apply a right-tailed unit root test with forward recursive regressions...

Empirical studies have shown that implied volatilities of long-term options react quite strongly to changes in implied volatilities of short-term options and do not display the rationally expected smoothing behavior. Given the observed strong mean-reversion in volatility, those findings have...

Traditional financial theory predicts that noise trader sentiment plays no role for the cross-sectional pattern in stock returns and in the cross-section of option prices. However, empirical research is challenging that view and finds evidence that investor sentiment can be predicted to affect...
