Squeezing shorts through social news platforms
Allen, Franklin; Nowak, Eric; Pirovano, Matteo; … - 2021 - This draft: April 12, 2021
At the end of January 2021, a group of stocks listed on US stock exchanges experienced sudden surges in their stock prices, which - coupled with high short interest – led to brief short squeeze episodes. We argue that these short squeezes were the result of coordinated trading by retail...

Market efficiency and limits to arbitrage : evidence from the Volkswagen short squeeze
Allen, Franklin; Haas, Marlene; Nowak, Eric; Tengulov, Angel - 2018
On October 26, 2008, Porsche announced a largely unexpected domination plan for Volkswagen. The resulting short squeeze in Volkswagen's stock briefly made it the most valuable listed company in the world. We argue that this was a manipulation designed to save Porsche from insolvency and the...

Beta risk in the cross-section of equities
Boloorforoosh, Ali; Christoffersen, Peter F.; Fournier, … - 2017
We develop a conditional capital asset pricing model in continuous-time that allows for stochastic beta exposure. When beta co-moves with market variance and the stochastic discount factor (SDF), beta risk is priced, and the expected return on a stock deviates from the security market line. The...

Measuring limits of Arbitrage in fixed-income markets
Fontaine, Jean-Sébastien; Nolin, Guillaume - 2017
We use relative value to measure limits to arbitrage in fixed-income markets. Relative value captures apparent … deviations from no-arbitrage relationships. It is simple, intuitive and can be computed model-free for any bond. A pseudo … therefore a better proxy for limits to arbitrage. We construct relative value indices for the US, UK, Japan, Germany, Italy …

FX liquidity risk and carry trade premia
Söderlind, Paul; Somogyi, Fabricius - 2022
The foreign exchange (FX) market is considered to be the largest and presumably most liquid financial market in the world. We show that even in this market exposure to liquidity risk commands a non-trivial risk premium of up to 3.6% per annum. In particular, systematic and currency-specific...

Foreign exchange dealer asset pricing
Reitz, Stefan; Umlandt, Dennis - 2019
We show that excess returns to the carry trade can be interpreted as compensation for foreign exchange dealers' capital risk. Given that the top market makers in foreign exchange are at the heart of the market's information aggregation process we also suggest that it is their marginal value of...

This paper analyses the explanatory power of the frequency of abnormal returns in the FOREX for the EURUSD, GBRUSD, USDJPY, EURJPY, GBPCHF, AUDUSD and USDCAD exchange rates over the period 1994-2019. Abnormal returns are detected using a dynamic trigger approach; then the following hypotheses...

The pricing of unexpected volatility in the currency market
Lu, Wenna; Copeland, Laurence S.; Xu, Yongdeng - 2021
Many recent papers have investigated the role played by volatility in determining the cross-section of currency returns. This paper employs two time-varying factor models: a threshold model and a Markov-switching model to price the excess returns from the currency carry trade. We show that the...

Does the pricing kernel anomaly reflect forward looking beliefs?
Sala, Carlo - 2015
We propose a nonparametric Bayesian approach for the estimation of the pricing kernel. Historical stock returns and option market data are combined through the Dirichlet Process (DP) to construct an option-adjusted physical measure. The precision parameter of the DP process is calibrated to the...
