Non-fundamental demand shocks have significant effects on asset prices, but observing these shocks is challenging. We use the exchange traded fund (ETF) primary market to study non-fundamental demand. Unique to the ETF market, specialized arbitrageurs called authorized participants correct...

The study will analyse whether the macro economic variables influence performance of IT shares in BSE in lieu of the changes in the fundamental economic variables. A solution to this will be a great help to investors, managers, policy markers, etc. to arrive at sound decisions on matters...

We extend the Fama–French three-factor model to include a risk factor that proxies for interest-rate risk faced by firms in an attempt to reduce the pricing errors that the three-factor model cannot explain. These pricing errors are observed especially in small size and low book-to-market...

This study outlines an affine term structure model (ATSM) of TIPS that decomposes yields into real expected rates, real term premiums, and liquidity premiums. The estimation incorporates an observable liquidity factor that more comprehensively captures limits to arbitrage implied by yield curve...

We derive the class of arbitrage-free affine dynamic term structure models that approximate the widely-used Nelson-Siegel yield-curve specification. Our theoretical analysis relates this new class of models to the canonical representation of the three-factor arbitrage-free affine model. Our...
