momentum prevails among small stocks, momentum and reversals coexist among large stocks for a holding period of up to six … months. The momentum/reversal divide is along the volatility dimension: Large-cap/low-volatility stocks exhibit reversals … while large-cap/high-volatility stocks experience momentum. Our finding is in sharp contrast with those in the existing …

We study the problem of detecting structural instability of factor strength in asset pricing models for financial returns. We allow for strong and weaker factors, in which the sum of squared betas grows at a rate equal to and slower than the number of test assets, respectively: this growth rate...

In the presence of asset returns’ non-normal behavior, optimal portfolio selection techniques should consider higher-moment risks. In this paper, we extend the Black-Litterman (BL) asset allocation model (Black & Litterman, 1990) by applying the hidden truncation skew-normal distribution...

Time changed Brownian motions are extensively applied as decision models for asset returns in Finance. On the other hand infinite divisible normal mixtures generate time changed Brownian motions. The standard generalization leading to the multivariate setting of normal mean variance mixtures...

Jumps and diffusive changes in stock prices are different ways in which information is reflected in the prices. We use nonparametric methods to decompose returns on individual stocks into jumps and diffusive components. Contrary to the conventional assumption that jump intensity is positively...

We propose a comprehensive treatment of the leverage effect, i.e. the relationship between returns and volatility of a specific asset, focusing on energy commodities futures, namely Brent and WTI crude oils, natural gas and heating oil. After estimating the volatility process without assuming...
