Este trabajo trata de profundizar en el papel de la información del momento económico cuando ésta se incorpora a los modelos de valoración de activos. Para ello, en primer lugar, se hace una descripción de la teoría de valoración de activos que engloba todos los modelos de valoración...

Asset pricing theory generally assumes perfect markets and, therefore, asset pricing models disregard the possibility of information deficiency in stock price formation. Our study analyses if the quantity of information about an asset determines its return. More precisely, we want to know if...

Este trabajo revisa el papel de la información del momento económico cuando ésta se incorpora a los modelos de valoración de activos. Para ello, se revisan algunos modelos de valoración, así como las formas habituales mediante las que se implementa dinamismo en la estimación práctica de...

In this paper I carry out an empirical evaluation for the Spanish market data of an asset pricing model based on the proposal of Campbell (1993). Due to the loglinear aproximation to the budget constrain that the author makes, a model arises that does not need consumption data among the...

This paper studies the determinants of the variance risk premium and concludes on the hedging possibilities offered by variance swaps. We start by showing that the variance risk premium responds to changes in higher order moments of the distribution of market returns. But the uncertainty that...

This paper proposes an ICAPM in which the risk premium embedded in variance swaps is the factor mimicking portfolio for hedging exposure to changes in future investment conditions. Recent empirical evidence shows that the fears by investors to deviations from Normality in the distribution of...

This paper derives closed-form expressions for consumption-based stochastic discount factors adjusted by market-wide illiquidity shocks, considering both contemporaneous and ultimate consumption risk. We find that market-wide illiquidity risk is important for pricing risky assets under...

There are a lot of theoretical and empirical literature of models of price formation in securities markets, based on the relationship between the expected return on assets and different measures of its risk. Using monthly returns for size-based portfolios from January 1982 to December 1998 we...

We discuss whether stock returns in Spain are predictable using a proxy for the logarithm of the consumption-aggregate wealth ratio, specifically the deviations of the common trend in consumption, labor income, and household asset holdings. The predictability regression used is based on...

The main objective of this paper is to test whether the risk neutral densities (RNDs) implied in the prices of the future options contract on the Spanish IBEX 35 index accurately predict the distribution of future outcomes of the underlying asset. We estimate RNDs using both parametric and...
