We study, using the idea of stochastic dominance, the long-run post merger stock performance of UK acquiring firms. We compare performance by using the entire distribution of returns rather than only the mean as in traditional event studies. Our main results are as follows: First, we find that,...

We examine an important aspect of empirical estimation of term structure models; the role of conditioning information in dynamic term structure models. The use of both real-world or simulated data implicitly incorporates conditioning information. We examine the bias created, in estimating the...

We use a consumption-based asset pricing model with Epstein-Zin-Weil recursive preferences to explain the cross-section of excess returns on nominal US Treasury bond portfolios. We use a novel approach to extract the model factors from a FAVAR using a large panel; of macro and financial data. We...

We study the cross-section of expected corporate bond returns using an inter-temporal CAPM (ICAPM) with three factors: innovations in future excess bond returns, future real interest rates and future expected inflation. Our test assets are a broad range of corporate bond market index portfolios....

In this paper, we study the relative performance of value versus growth strategies from the perspective of stochastic dominance. Using half a century US data on value and growth stocks, we find no evidence against the widely documented fact that value stocks stochastically dominate growth stocks...

We investigate the value versus growth investment strategies from the perspective of stochastic dominance analysis. Using G7 country data on value and growth stocks, we find that value stocks stochastically dominate growth stocks only for the US, Canada, and Japan, while there are no significant...
