In this paper, we build estimation error in mean returns into the mean-variance (MV) portfolio theory under the assumption that returns on individual assets follow a joint normal distribution. We derive the conditional sampling distribution of the MV portfolio along with its mean and risk return...

We provide a data-driven adjustment for estimated betas that leads to material improvements in the accuracy of weights and risk forecasts for minimum variance portfolios. Like the widely used Blume 2/3 rule and Vasicek correction developed in the 1970s, our beta adjustment operates by shrinking...

Assuming that probabilities (capacities) of events are random, this paper introduces a novel model of decision making under ambiguity, called Shadow probability theory, a generalization of the Choquet expected utility. In this model, probabilities of observable events in a subordinated...

We develop and implement methods for determining whether introducing new securities or relaxing investment constraints improves the investment opportunity set for prospect investors. We formulate a new testing procedure for prospect spanning for two nested portfolio sets based on subsampling and...

This paper proposes a novel scheme for achieving high investment performances with Mean-Variance (MV) portfolios. As is well-known, MV portfolio performances largely depend on the quality of estimates of parameters, namely expected returns and covariance matrices. Particularly, easily...

We derive new results on the asymptotic behavior of the estimated parameters of a linear asset pricing model and their associated t-statistics in the presence of a factor that is independent of the returns. The inclusion of this "useless" factor in the model leads to a violation of the full rank...

Portfolio sorting is ubiquitous in the empirical finance literature, where it has been widely used to identify pricing anomalies in different asset classes. Despite the popularity of portfolio sorting, little attention has been paid to the statistical properties of the procedure or to the...
