Confidence intervals in econometric time series regressions suffer from notorious coverage problems. This is especially true when the dependence in the data is noticeable and sample sizes are small to moderate, as is often the case in empirical studies. This paper suggests using the studentized...

Because of non-normality of stock returns nonparametric rank tests are gaining incremental popularity over parametric tests in financial economics event studies. In rank tests financial assets' multiple day cumulative abnormal returns (CARs) are replaced by cumulated ranks. This paper proposes...

In this paper, we consider alternative approaches to the estimation of Itˆo diffusion processes from discretely sampled observations. Based on Monte Carlo simulation, we investigate the finite sample properties of various estimators and in particular compare the performance of the nonparametric...
