In the standard consumption capital asset pricing model (CCAPM), the curvature of the investor's utility function captures two aspects of preferences: as the concavity of the function increases so does his aversion to risk as well as his desire to smooth consumption intertemporally. This...

In this paper, we characterize the asymmetries of the smile through multiple leverage effects in a stochastic dynamic asset pricing framework. The dependence between price movements and future volatility is introduced through a set of latent state variables.

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

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 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).
