A risk-averse agent hedges her exposure to a non-tradable risk factor U using a correlated traded asset S and accounts for the impact of her trades on both factors. The effect of the agent's trades on U is referred to as cross-impact. By solving the agent's stochastic control problem, we obtain...

We investigate the effect of including variance derivatives as calibration and hedging instruments for pricing and hedging exotic structures. This is studied empirically using market data for SPX and VIX derivatives applied in a stochastic volatility jump diffusion model

In this study, we investigate the pricing of risks in the cross-section of cryptocurrency returns. In doing so, we decompose total variations into systematic and idiosyncratic components, as well as differentiate jumps from diffusive variations. We show that a hedged portfolio sorted on...

We study the term structure of variance (total risk), systematic and idiosyncratic risk. Consistent with the expectations hypothesis, we find that, for the entire market, the slope of the term structure of variance is mainly informative about the path of future variance. Thus, there is little...

In this paper, we establish a comparison between one of the most traded financial derivatives in the markets, the so-called catastrophe bonds (abbreviated as cat bonds) and the corporate bonds. In the first section, we start from a brief definition as well as some basic concepts. In section two,...

There is a myriad of financial anomalies in the cross-section of equity returns. They have been widely studied in the literature, which gives investors a large choice in terms of investment styles. In this paper, the authors show a perhaps unappreciated quality of financial anomalies: they...

We establish that the risk-return tradeoff of cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ripple, and Ethereum) is distinct from those of stocks, currencies, and precious metals. Cryptocurrencies have no exposure to most common stock market and macroeconomic factors or to the returns of currencies and...

Wir untersuchen den Querschnitt von über 1200 Kryptowährungen, gesammelt von 350 Handelsplätzen, in der Zeitspanne von Januar 2014 bis Juni 2020. Im speziellen untersuchen wir, ob weit verbreitete Charakteristika, wie Beta (Fama/MacBeth (1973)), Size (Banz (1981)) oder Momentum...

This study aims to analyze and test empirically the influence of corporate financial performance against systematic risk on stocks. The analysis technique used is multiple linear regression. The results showed that the financial performance did not significantly affect the systematic risk of the...

Current factor models do not identify risks that matter to investors. To address this issue, we provide a factor model implementation of the ICAPM, which captures market risk and intertemporal risk (i.e., changes in long-term expected returns and volatility). We build our intertemporal risk...
