As asset pricing, especially in emerging markets has been of continued interest in finance, this paper contributes by investigating the presence of periodically collapsing bubbles in seven Asian and seven Latin American emerging markets. Although a number of studies, using different approaches...

We investigate the relationship between volatility and volume in five energy commodity futures contracts traded at the NYMEX for the period 1992 to 2006. We find that conditional volatility shows a high response to large information shocks and exhibits a great sensitivity to total expected and...

We construct a state-dependent trivariate GARCH-M model to extract state-dependent risk-aversion coefficients around the 1997-1999 financial meltdown. These coefficients are further used to decompose sector risk into global (systematic), country-specific (diversifiable through global country...

This paper examines the relationships between market risk premiums, time-varying variance and covariance in forty-eight emerging, and seven developed capital markets. We allow each market's risk premium generating process to be state-dependent by accounting for negative and positive market price...

This paper develops an empirical cost of carry model for pricing crude oil futures by introducing an exogenously conditioned convenience yield as well as stochastic volatility. The approach is tested using monthly prices of all light crude oil futures contracts traded on the New York Mercantile...

Such preferences have been cited as evidence for both investor irrationality and short-comings of the discounted utility model...
