This paper employs the real option approach (ROA) to study the investment decision of a management accounting innovation—the case of activity-based costing (ABC)—adoption or discontinuation under uncertainty. We argue that investing in ABC is analogous to having the option rights in a...

This paper examines the sustainability of the currency board arrangements in Argentina and Hong Kong. We employ a Markov switching model with two regimes to infer the exchange rate pressure due to economic fundamentals and market expectations. The empirical results suggest that economic...

We find that from 1995 to 2002 in China, the dispersion of wealth decreased, the moneywealth ratio increased for all wealth levels and the aggregate money-output ratio increased. We develop a two-asset dynamic general equilibrium model in which households face a portfolio adjustment cost and a...

This paper models market mispricings as a function of subjective predictions about the endogenously determined future trades of other investors. Utilizing only a very general set of very unrestrictive assumptions, a single boundary condition with only a few variables is deduced that facilitates...

This paper studies idiosyncratic risk of new ventures. An option-based model of a new venture with multistage investments and jumps is developed. Our model explains (1) why new ventures' idiosyncratic volatility eventually decreases as they clear Ramp;D investment stages and become mature firms...

Smart cities depend on smart grid for resilient energy delivery and improved energy efficiencies. This paper employs the real option approach (ROA) to study the investment decision of information technology innovation in the case of smart grid adoption under uncertainty. We argue that investing...

We discover three significant periodicities in the autocorrelation of intraday stock returns. We demonstrate that (i) the autocorrelation is 64% more negative during afternoons than during mornings, (ii) the autocorrelation is more negative Tuesdays through Fridays than on Mondays, (iii) overall...
