This chapter provides a perspective on the rapidly developing literature on investment performance evaluation. I use the stochastic discount factor approach to present and critique current performance measurement techniques in a unified setting. I offer a number of suggestions to improve...

Returns in financial assets display consistent excess kurtosis and skewness, implying the presence of large fluctuations not forecasted by Gaussian models. This paper applies a resampling method based on the bootstrap and a bias-correction step to improve Value-at-Risk (VaR) forecasting ability...

This paper studies inference for the realized Laplace transform (RLT) of volatility in a fixed‐span setting using … the spot variance as well as the covariance, correlation, and beta between two semimartingales, and adapt our bootstrap … procedure to the requisite scenario. We establish central limit theory for our estimators and first‐order asymptotic validity of …

Many postulated relations in finance imply that expected asset returns strictly increase in an underlying characteristic. To examine the validity of such a claim, one needs to take the entire range of the characteristic into account, as is done in the recent proposal of Patton and Timmermann...

Many postulated relations in finance imply that expected asset returns should monotonically increase in a certain characteristic. To examine the validity of such a claim, one typically considers a finite number of return categories, ordered according to the underlying characteristic. A standard...
