This paper investigates the joint determination of two dimensions of a security: trading volume and return. In much of the existing literature, volume is modeled as being exogenously related to security returns. Our analysis evaluates the extent to which trading activity also depends on security...

This paper studies the behavior of corporate bond spreads during different market regimes between 2004 and 2016. Applying a Markov-switching vector autoregressive (MS-VAR) model, we document that the dynamic impact of spread determinants varies substantially with market conditions. In periods of...

In this paper we estimate the term structure of daily UK interest rates using more flexible continuous time models. The multivariate CKLS framework is employed for dynamic estimation and forecasting of four classical models over the eventful period of 2000-2013. The extensions are applied in two...

This article analyzed the presence of long memory in volatility in 5 Asian equity indices namely SENSEX, CNIA, NIKKEI225, KO11 and FTSTI, using 5 minutes intraday return series ranging from 05-jan-2015 to 06-Aug-2015. The study employed ARFIMA-FIGARCH model and ARFIMA-APARCH model and compared...

This online appendix to "Violations of Uncovered Interest Rate Parity and International Exchange Rate Dependences" includes the copula density function for the Clayton-Frank-Gumbel mixture copula and the details for the likelihood based estimation of the multivariate currency basket log returns....

Numerous empirical studies find pricing kernels that are not-monotonically decreasing; the findings are at odds with the pricing kernel being marginal utility of a risk-averse, so-called representative agent. We study in detail the common procedure which estimates the pricing kernel as the ratio...

This paper checks for validity of the residual income model of Ohlson (1995) for the companies listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand between 1992 and 2015. In particular, we test whether there is long-run relationship between market value, book value and residual incomes. Using standard...

The long-run consumption risk model provides a theoretically appealing explanation for prominent asset pricing puzzles, but its intricate structure presents a challenge for econometric analysis. This paper proposes a two-step indirect inference approach that disentangles the estimation of the...

In this paper, we investigate the dynamic response of stock market volatility to changes in monetary policy. Using a vector autoregressive model, our findings reveal a significant and asymmetric response of stock returns and volatility to monetary policy shocks. Although the increase in the...

Current empirical asset pricing research on idiosyncratic volatility (IVOL), negatively related to cross-sectional expected returns, fails to take explicit account of risk that results from a shock to a network of economically related stocks. These stocks move together, and are therefore...
