accumulation in a structural life-cycle model. We use two complementary estimation strategies: first, we estimate the Euler equation … substantially higher than without temptation. Finally, our Method of Simulated Moments estimation is able to match well the life … the importance of temptation are robust to the different estimation strategies. …

Sudden jumps in the stock market have a significant impact on consumers’ wealth. A market crash, in particular, can devastate lives and destabilize the entire economy. Therefore, it would be desirable if consumers, policy makers, and financial intermediaries could better anticipate such...

Despite its theoretical appeal, Markowitz mean-variance portfolio optimization is plagued by practical issues. It is especially difficult to obtain reliable estimates of a stock's expected return. Recent research has therefore focused on minimum volatility portfolio optimization, which...

Unstable fluctuations in financial markets caused by the 2008 financial crisis and currently by the Covid-19 crisis have generated greater concern among investors regarding their capital protection. In view of this situation, the consideration of alternative investments has taken a relevant...

We develop a new family of estimators of the covariance matrix that relies solely on forwardlooking information. It uses only current prices of plain-vanilla options. In an out-of-sample study we show that a minimum-variance strategy based on these fully-implied estimators outperforms several...

We propose a novel dynamic approach to forecast the weights of the global minimum variance portfolio (GMVP). The GMVP weights are the population coefficients of a linear regression of a benchmark return on a vector of return differences. This representation enables us to derive a consistent loss...

In this paper we take an empirical asset pricing perspective and investigate the dominant view (possibly, an instinctive reflection of the media hype surrounding the surge of Bitcoin valuations) that cryptocurrencies represent a new asset class, spanning risks and payoffs sufficiently...

In this paper we develop the first estimator of the covariance matrix that relies solely on forward-looking information. This estimator only uses price information from a cross-section of plain-vanilla options. In an out-of-sample study for US blue-chip stocks we show that a minimum-variance...
