Testing for monotonicity in expected asset returns

Romano, Joseph P.; Wolf, Michael - 2013

Many postulated relations in finance imply that expected asset returns strictly increase in an underlying characteristic. To examine the validity of such a claim, one needs to take the entire range of the characteristic into account, as is done in the recent proposal of Patton and Timmermann...

Alterntive tests for monotonicity in expected asset returns

Romano, Joseph P.; Wolf, Michael - 2011

Many postulated relations in finance imply that expected asset returns should monotonically increase in a certain characteristic. To examine the validity of such a claim, one typically considers a finite number of return categories, ordered according to the underlying characteristic. A standard...

The determinants of stock and bond return comovements

Baele, Lieven; Bekaert, Geert; Inghelbrecht, Koen - 2007

We study the economic sources of stock-bond return comovement and its time variation using a dynamic factor model. We identify the economic factors employing structural and non-structural vector autoregressive models for economic state variables such as interest rates, (expected) inflation,...

Cash Flow and Discount Rate Risk in Up and Down Markets: What is actually priced?

Botshekan, Mahmoud; Kraeussl, Roman; Lucas, Andre - 2010

We test whether asymmetric preferences for losses versus gains as in Ang, Chen, and Xing (2006) also affect the pricing of cash flow versus discount rate news as in Campbell and Vuolteenaho (2004). We construct a new four-fold beta decomposition, distinguishing cash flow and discount rate betas...

How efficient is the U.K. housing market?

Schindler, Felix - 2010

Extending the controversial findings from the relevant literature, the results from the quarterly transaction-based Nationwide indices from 1974 to 2009 provide further empirical evidence on the rejection of the weak-form version of efficiency in the U.K. housing market. In addition to...
