A diagnostic criterion for approximate factor structure

Gagliardini, Patrick; Ossola, Elisa; Scaillet, Olivier - 2016 - This version: July 2016

We build a simple diagnostic criterion for approximate factor structure in large panel datasets. Given observable factors, the criterion checks whether the errors are weakly cross-sectionally correlated or share at least one unobservable common factor (interactive effects). A general version...

Estimation of large dimensional conditional factor models in finance

Gagliardini, Patrick; Ossola, Elisa; Scaillet, Olivier - 2019 - This version: August 2019

This chapter surveys recent econometric methodologies for inference in large dimensional conditional factor models in finance. Changes in the business cycle and asset characteristics induce time variation in factor loadings and risk premia to be accounted for. The growing trend in the use of...

Joint extreme events in equity returns and liquidity and their cross-sectional pricing implications

Ruenzi, Stefan; Ungeheuer, Michael; Weigert, Florian - 2020 - This version: January 2020

We merge the literature on downside return risk and liquidity risk and introduce the concept of extreme downside liquidity (EDL) risks. The cross-section of stock returns reflects a premium if a stock's return (liquidity) is lowest at the same time when the market liquidity (return) is lowest....

Risk-Return Trade-Off on Currency Portfolios

Byrne, Joseph - 2018

Unconditional asset pricing models have generally found it challenging to identify evidence ofrisk aversion. This paper addresses this challenge by examining whether currency portfolios display an intertemporal risk-return relationship. We consider time-varying relations because investors'...

Pricing of idiosyncratic equity and variance risks

Gourier, Elise - 2016

This paper decomposes the risk premia of individual stocks into contributions from systematic and idiosyncratic risks. I introduce an affine jump-diffusion model, which accounts for both the factor structure of asset returns and that of the variance of idiosyncratic returns. The estimation is...

Dealing with Non-Normality When Estimating Abnormal Returns and Systematic Risk of Private Equity : A Closed-Form Solution

Buchner, Axel - 2015

systematic risk and abnormal returns. In addition, unlike previous studies that derive estimates based on the standard CAPM, the … method employs a generalized CAPM that is based on the equilibrium model of Rubinstein (1976).This generalized CAPM … investments documented is lower than found in previous studies that estimate a standard CAPM, which is consistent with the theory …

Risk Factors in Energy Utility Returns : An Augmented-Four-Factor Model

Tulloch, Daniel J. - 2016

In this paper we utilise the risk factors from both the finance and energy economics literatures to develop an improved asset pricing model (the Augmented-Four-Factor Model or AFFM) in the context of the European energy utility sector. In addition, we undertake inter-sectoral and inter-temporal...

Chapter 12 Tests of multifactor pricing models, volatility bounds and portfolio performance

Ferson, Wayne E. - 2003

Three concepts: stochastic discount factors, multi-beta pricing and mean-variance efficiency, are at the core of modern empirical asset pricing. This chapter reviews these paradigms and the relations among them, concentrating on conditional asset-pricing models where lagged variables serve as...

Dissecting Anomalies in Conditional Asset Pricing

Raponi, Valentina; Zaffaroni, Paolo - 2023

We develop a methodology for estimating and testing the effect of anomalies in conditional asset pricing models when premia are time-varying. Our method, which builds on the two-pass methodology, is developed for ordinary and weighted least-squares estimation, considering both cases of correct...
