We establish innovative measures of liquidity premium Beta on both asset and portfolio levels, and corresponding liquidity-adjusted return and volatility, for selected crypto assets. We develop a liquidity-adjusted ARMA-GARCH/EGARCH representation to model the liquidity-adjusted return for...

This paper aims to implement a portfolio optimization strategy considering two fundamental aspects: the empirical regularities observed in the time series of stock returns, and the views of portfolio managers about these regularities. From an analytical point of view, all the results are...

A non-Gaussian multivariate regime switching dynamic correlation model for fi nancial asset returns is proposed. It incorporates the multivariate generalized hyperbolic law for the conditional distribution of returns. All model parameters are estimated consistently using a new two-stage...

We demonstrate that the parameters controlling skewness and kurtosis in popular equity return models estimated at daily frequency can be obtained almost as precisely as if volatility is observable by simply incorporating the strong information content of realized volatility measures extracted...

Under an assumption of normality, we explore a non-orthogonal Bayesian technique in which redundant information can in principle be filtered out of the posterior distribution by the explicit coupling of the prior and likelihood functions. The Black-Litterman forecasting model widely used by...

Option-implied moments, like implied volatility, contain useful information about an underlying asset's return distribution, but are derived under the risk-neutral probability measure. This paper shows how to convert risk-neutral moments into the corresponding physical ones. The main theoretical...

This paper investigates the effect of characteristic-based time-varying factor beta on the diffusion-index type forecast. Specifically, the factor beta includes two distinct components: the "instrumental beta'' is a function of some observed stable variables, while the "idiosyncratic beta''...
