The evolution of prices in market is usually given by geometric Brownian motion, where the Brownian process describes fluctuations is often called "white" noise. We study the effect of correlations introduced by a "colored" noise. We demonstrate how the "color" Brownian process may capture the...

We examine the relation between the probability of future stock price crash and investors’ investment horizons. Using negative skewness as a proxy for firm-specific crash risk, we document a positive association between institutional ownership and stock price crash risk. The relation is,...

We address the problem of finding an optimal financing mix of retained earnings and external equity for maximizing the value of a firm subject to random returns. The problem is formulated as a singular stochastic control for a diffusion process, and the value function satisfies a free-boundary...
