We study learning and uncertainty under the factor investing paradigm using an endogenous information model with …-looking measure of attention to systematic versus firm-level information. Consistent with the model, the measure follows a regime …-switching process. The high-level regime is linked to lower stock price sensitivity to firm-specific information and a higher systematic …

We study a notion of good-deal hedging, that corresponds to good-deal valuation and is described by a uniform supermartingale property for the tracking errors of hedging strategies. For generalized good-deal constraints, defined in terms of correspondences for the Girsanov kernels of pricing...

Following the financial crisis of 2008, it has been argued that Value at Risk (VaR), and risk analysis in general, failed to alert risk managers of the turbulence on the horizon. This is a misguided view that should not have come as a surprise because many widely circulated academic papers and...

This paper provides a quantitative risk analysis of leveraged ETFs (LETFs) with a focus on the impact of leverage and investment horizon. From the empirical returns of several major LETFs based on the S&P 500 index, the performance of LETFs generally declines as investment horizon increases,...

This paper studies the intertemporal relation between U.S. volatility risk and international equity risk premia. We show that a common volatility risk factor constructed from the option-implied U.S. forward variances positively and significantly predicts future stock market returns of the...

Equity basket correlation is an important risk factor. It characterizes the strength of linear dependence between assets and thus measures the degree of portfolio diversification. It can be estimated both under the physical measure from return series, and under the risk neutral measure from...

In this paper, we propose a general data-driven framework that unifies the valuation and risk measurement of financial derivatives, which is especially useful in markets with thinly-traded derivatives. We first extract the empirical characteristic function from market-observable time series for...

Investors utility has been mathematically modeled at 1738 by Daniel Bernoulli as an attempt to capture investors preferences to lottery outcomes. Ever since the analysis of decision making under uncertainty has again become a major focus of interest. Kahneman and Tversky in 1979 suggested a more...
