definitions of volatility show that the empirical scaling law in every stock market is a power law. This power law holds from 2 to … volatility. This finding indicates that the stock returns may have a multifractal nature. Another scaling property of stock … show that after a major fall in the stock returns, the stock market volatility above a certain threshold shows a power law …

This paper presents an empirical investigation of scaling and multifractal properties of US Dollar–Deutschemark (USD–DEM) returns. The data set is ten years of 5-min returns. The cumulative return distributions of positive and negative tails at different time intervals are linear in the...

We propose two tests for the equality of covariance matrices between two high-dimensional populations. One test is on the whole variance-covariance matrices, and the other is on offdiagonal sub-matrices which define the covariance between two non-overlapping segments of the high-dimensional...

In almost every area of empirical finance, researchers are confronted with multiple tests. One high profile example is the identification of investment managers that outperform. Many beat their benchmarks purely by luck. Multiple testing methods are designed to control for luck. Factor selection...

This paper proposes the new concept of stochastic leverage in stochastic volatility models. Stochastic leverage refers … stochastic volatility process. We provide a systematic treatment of stochastic leverage and propose to model the stochastic … tractable and allow for a direct economic interpretation. In particular, we propose two new stochastic volatility models which …

The authors examine how the use of extreme value theory yields collateral requirements that are robust to extreme fluctuations in the market price of the asset used as collateral. In particular, they study the risk and cost attributes of market risk measures by constructing a risk-cost frontier...

This study critically reviews current fund performance measures. The performance measure derived from the return-based style analysis by Sharpe (1992) is introduced and compared with other regression-based measures. A comparative simulation is set up to test the robustness, accuracy, and...
