To analyze the intertemporal interaction between the stock and bond market returns, we assume that the conditional covariance matrix follows a multivariate GARCH process. We allow for asymmetric effects in conditional variances and covariances. Using daily data, we find strong evidence of...

A wide range of empirical biases hampers hedge fund databases. In this paper we focus upon survival-related biases and disentangle look-ahead biases due to self-selection of funds and due to fund termination. Self-selection arises because funds voluntarily report their information to data...

Conventional short-term reversal strategies exhibit dynamic exposures to the Fama and French (1993) factors. We develop a novel reversal strategy based on residual stock returns that does not exhibit these exposures and consequently earns risk-adjusted returns that are twice as large as those of...
