This paper develops a general stochastic framework and an equilibrium asset pricing model theat make clear how attitudes towards intertemporal substitution and risk matter for option pricing; In particular we show under which statistical conditions option princing formulas are not...

In this paper, we characterize the asymmetric of the smile through multiple leverage effects in a stochastic dynamic asset pricing framework.

This assesses the empirical performance of an intertemporal option pricing model with latent variables with generalized the Hull-White stochastic volatility formula.

In this paper, we provided a unifying analysis of latent variable models in finance through the concept of stochastic discount factor (SDF).

In the last decade, the potential macroeconomic effects of intermittent large adjustments in microeconomic variables such as prices, investment, consumption of durables or employment- a behaviour which may be justified by the presence of kinked adjustment costs- have been studied in models where...

In this paper we test a version of the conditional CAPM with respect to a local market portfolio, proxied by the Brazilian stock index during the 1976-1992 period. We also test a conditional APT model by using the difference between the 30-day rate (Cdb) and the overnight rate as a second factor...
