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.

We address the general issue of econometric specifications of dynamic asset pricing models, which cover the modern literature on conditionally heteroskedastic factor models as well as equilibrium-based asset pricing models with an intertemporal specification of preferences and market fundamentals.

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...
