The paper investigates how the availability heuristic of individual stocks affects equity returns, where the availability heuristic is measured by the irrational signal in the fractal dimension. Our evidence support that the availability heuristic can positively predict the short-term expected...

Approximately 60% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are attributable to household consumption, which represents great opportunity to mitigate them. However, most research has focused only on CO2 emissions, and pays limited attention to non-CO2, which accounts for a quarter of household...

This study investigated environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance and its financial impacts across 38 economies from 2013 to 2022, with a special focus on firms in Asia. The main findings are as follows. First, notable disparities in ESG assessments were found across major rating...

In this paper, we propose an alternative approach for pricing and hedging American barrier options. Specifically, we obtain an analytic representation for the value and hedge parameters of barrier options, using the decomposition technique of separating the European option value from the early...

Many exotic derivatives do not have closed-form valuation equations, and must be priced using approximation methods. Where they can be applied, standard lattice techniques based on binomial and trinomial trees will achieve correct valuations asymptotically. They can also generally handle...

This paper investigates the implications of mixtures of affine, quadratic, and nonlinear models for the term structure of volatility. The dynamics of the term structure of interest rates appear to exhibit pronounced time-varying or stochastic volatility. Ahn, Dittmar, and Gallant (2000) provide...

With the theories and rules of electricity markets developing rapidly, it's difficult for beginners to start learning and difficult for those in the field to keep up. Bringing together information previously scattered among various journals and scholarly articles, this book provides a...
