This paper is an attempt to investigate the dynamic relationship between U.S. and Indian stock markets through the conditional volatility of two stock markets, during the 1995-2007 period, using the monthly data of BSE listed BSE 100 and NYSE listed S & P 500 indices. The research methodology...

In this paper we propose exact likelihood-based mean-variance efficiency tests of the market portfolio in the context of Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), allowing for a wide class of error distributions which include normality as a special case. These tests are developed in the framework of...

Early warning models are among the most utilized developments in finance. A good early warning model can predict with a high degree of accuracy the likelihood that a healthy company will either go bankrupt or become financially distressed. B2B companies supply products are now global. This paper...

We develop an econometric methodology to infer the path of risk premia from large unbalanced panel of individual stock returns. We estimate the time-varying risk premia implied by conditional linear asset pricing models where the conditioning includes instruments common to all assets and asset...

This paper builds on the work of Acemoglu et al. (2012) and considers a production network with unobserved common technological factor and establishes general conditions under which the network structure contributes to aggregate fluctuations. It introduces the notions of strongly and weakly...

This paper is concerned with testing the time series implications of the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) due to Sharpe (1964) and Lintner (1965), when the number of securities, N, is large relative to the time dimension, T, of the return series. In the case of cross-sectionally correlated...

Present paper makes some comments on the conclusions of (Bonesmo Fredriksen, 2012) who claims among others that “…Furthermore, EU income inequality is found to have increased over the past 25 years, albeit at a slower pace since 2000”. My comments are that the above conclusion depends on...

This paper modeled the dynamic inter-relationships between average salary, bonus, and stock options granted to top executives of 700 U.S. firms using a merged ExecuComp and Compustat database. The effects of stock options granted and exercised on firms' share repurchases and research and...

Using data for 70 U.S. metropolitan areas, this study explores spatial heterogeneity in house price dynamics. We use recent advances in panel econometrics that allow for spatial heterogeneity, cross-sectional dependence, and non-stationary but cointegrated data. We test for spatial differences...
