An Asset Pricing Theory of Volatility Tail Behavior

Bakshi, Gurdip - 2012

We contrast two different asset pricing models, where the pricing kernel either (i) increases in the volatility dimension, reflecting investors' aversion to volatility, or (ii) could be non-monotonic in volatility, reflecting heterogeneity in investors' beliefs. The two models yield opposite...

Understanding Short and Long-Run Risk Premia

Buraschi, Andrea - 2013

This paper studies the predictability of S&P500 returns using short term risk premia as a conditioning variable. We construct dividend prices using futures data and identify short term risk premia by projecting excess returns of dividend claims on their lagged prices. Regression results for...

"Up" and "Down" Levy Jumps and Market Risk Premia Implications from S&P500 Options

Carverhill, Andrew P. - 2020

We model the S&P500 index options dynamics using the CGMY distribution, with independent "up" and "down" return jumps, and diffusive jump intensities. Allowing the up and down parts to be separately parameterised accounts for the dynamic smirk effect, without correlation between returns and...

The Pricing of Market Jumps in the Cross-Section of Stocks and Options

Babaoglu, Kadir - 2018

Market index and individual stock returns exhibit jumps in addition to normal shocks. Equities have exposure to the market and sensitivity to the market is important for explaining equity returns and option prices. I develop a new factor model that explores (i) if a separate beta for market...

Is Idiosyncratic Volatility Risk Priced? Evidence from the Physical and Risk-Neutral Distributions

Boloor, Ali - 2014

We use simultaneous data from equity, index and option markets in order to estimate a single-factor market model in which idiosyncratic volatility is allowed to be priced. We model the index dynamics' physical distribution as a mean-reverting stochastic volatility process as in Heston (1993),...

Modeling Conditional Factor Risk Premia Implied by Index Option Returns

Fournier, Mathieu; Jacobs, Kris; Orłowski, Piotr - 2021

We propose a novel factor model for option returns. Option exposures are estimated nonparametrically and factor risk premia can vary nonlinearly with states. The model is estimated using regressions, with minimal assumptions on factor and option return dynamics. Using index options, we...

Variance Premiums in an Equilibrium Model with Two Stochastic Volatility Factors

Zhu, Cai - 2013

Variance premium is studied under a discrete-time consumption-based equilibrium model, with two stochastic volatility factors. The formulas for VIX and variance premium term structure are derived. As an empirical application of the model, the predicion power of VIX and variance premium term...

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...

Arbitraging Mispriced Assets with Separation Portfolios to Lessen Total Risk

Apreda, Rodolfo - 2009

This paper expands on a procedure to arbitrage mispriced assets against the benchmark provided by the Security Market … least total risk among other alternative portfolios. Coming next, such arbitrage is dealt directly with one single … separation portfolio, which grants that the total risk linked with the arbitrage portfolio equals the non-systematic risk …

The contribution of frictions to expected returns

Hirakiy, Kazuhiro; Skiadopoulos, George - 2018

We derive a model-free option-based formula to estimate the contribution of market frictions to expected returns (CFER) within an asset pricing setting. We estimate CFER for the U.S. optionable stocks. We document that CFER is sizable, it predicts stock returns and it subsumes the effect of...
