In this paper, we propose a multivariate market model with returns assumed to follow a multivariate normal tempered stable distribution. This distribution, defined by a mixture of the multivariate normal distribution and the tempered stable subordinator, is consistent with two stylized facts...

This theoretical paper seeks to correct a common error about the effect of personal taxation on the expected pre-tax return earned on equity portfolios held by mutual funds in tax-sheltered retirement plans such as IRA and Keogh (401-k). Contrary to the prevailing view, the analysis reveals that...

This paper examines the economic implications of new factor models and shows that the Hou, Xue, and Zhang (HXZ, 2015a) four-factor model outperforms the Fama and French (FF5, 2015a) five-factor model for investing in anomalies in- and out-of-sample. The difference in certainty-equivalent returns...

In this work, we propose an ARMA(1,1)-GARCH(1,1) model with standard classical tempered stable (CTS) innovations for historical daily returns of 29 selected stocks. The non-Gaussian nature of the innovations captures the fat-tail property observed in data. The dependency between different assets...

In the paper, we consider the application of the theory of probability metrics in several areas in the eld of nance. First, we argue that specially structured probability metrics can be used to quantify stochastic dominance relations. Second, the methods of the theory of probability metrics can...

We consider classes of reward-risk optimization problems that arise from different choices of reward and risk measures. In certain examples the generic problem reduces to linear or quadratic programming problems. We state an algorithm based on a sequence of convex feasibility problems for the...
