We study whether tax considerations are an important determinant of commercial mortgage default. We also study whether large lenders are better informed, or better at interpreting information for lending purposes, and hence have lower foreclosure rates; whether lenders have more information on...

Fisher, Geltner, and Webb (1993), in a highly influential paper, develop a procedure to recover the underlying market values from a smoothed valuation-based commercial property return index, without assuming that the underlying property market is informationally efficient. Many papers since then...

The effect of thermal heat treatment on the mechanical and electrical properties of Cu–Ag alloys was investigated. The homogenization heat treatment leads to an increase in tensile strength and a decrease in electrical conductivity due to dissolution of Ag into copper matrix. Also, it is shown...

In this article we set up a real option model of retail shopping center leases. The model incorporates the effects of stochastic sales externalities and the possibility of tenant default, and in the presence of these effects, we derive and solve a partial differential equation that can be used...

This is the first study to examine the intraday price discovery process between the Singapore Exchange and the China Financial Futures Exchange. Using one- and five-minute high-frequency data from May to November 2011, we found that China’s CSI 300 index futures dominated...

<section xml:id="fut21637-sec-0001"> This study examines and compares the information content of futures and options trades by analyzing the transaction dataset of derivatives underlying the KOSPI 200 index. This dataset contains detailed information about investor types and trade directions. Previous market microstructure studies...</section>

<section xml:id="fut21618-sec-0001"> This study proposes a new estimation approach for option valuation (an implied pricing kernel‐based approach), which estimates model parameters under the physical probability measure (P‐measure) using a pricing kernel implied by the GARCH option pricing model. Analyzing the dataset on the...</section>

In terms of quantifying market risk, this study examines the information and indication embedded in implied volatilities extracted from the KOSPI 200 options and proposes a modified value-at-risk (VaR) framework utilizing the implied volatilities. Our empirical results indicate that the...

This study examines the intraday formation process of transaction prices and bid–ask spreads in the KOSPI 200 futures market. By extending the structural model of Madhavan, A., Richardson, M., and Roomans, M. (<link href="#bib14">1997</link>), we develop a unique cross‐market model that can decompose spread components...
