We test the cross-sectional predictions of our theory … equity than for assets, and stronger for more levered firms — consistent with the theory. We test also the timeseries … implications of the theory. Time variation in asset ivol causes time variation in the option value of equity that translates into …

Novel approaches employing an Artificial Neural Networks to enhance the infrastructure of existing Monte Carlo Risk engines are presented. An Artificial Neural Network is utilized to retrieve trade- and market data from existing Expected Exposure profiles of interest rate swaps which enables its...

By means of a difference-in-differences approach (sigma-DID), we investigate the effect that hedging has on corporate risk. Examining the relation between hedging and the idiosyncratic variance of stock returns, we show that when new commodity derivatives are introduced in the Chicago Mercantile...

We introduce an option-implied proxy for the health of financial intermediaries—the Leverage Bearing Capacity (LBC). LBC is the leverage of a fictitious intermediary that targets a fixed level of risk and rebalances its capital structure on an ongoing basis. Our measure is based on market...
