Xyngis, Georgios - 2017
A single factor that captures assets' exposure to business-cycle variation in macroeconomic uncertainty can explain the level and cross-sectional differences of asset returns. Specifically, based on portfolio-level tests I demonstrate that fluctuations in uncertainty with persistence ranging...

Macro News and Long-Run Volatility Expectations
Vilhelmsson, Anders - 2020
I propose a new model-free method for estimating long-run changes in expected volatility using VIX futures contracts …. The method is applied to measure the effect on stock market volatility of scheduled macroeconomic news announcements. I … when policy uncertainty is higher than average.

Unspanned Volatility in Non-Affine Short Rate Models and Conformal Symmetry
Pelts, Gregory - 2016
We employ conformal symmetries to provide a generic tractable framework for interest rate modelling. The approach combines calibration flexibility of market models with tractability and computational efficiency of shot rate models. The methodology enables robust calibration to the whole variety...
