In this note, we present a wealth model of a two-country economy where ffnancial assets and goods are traded. We consider the case where the agents are risk neutral, a very common assumption in ffnance in order to have explicit solutions for prices, and in particular in international ffnance for...

This paper examines the equilibrium of financial portfolios under insurance

In this paper, we study and extend the optimal portfolio positioning

As emphasized by the U.S. Dodd-Frank Act and the European MiFID directive, financial institu-

We estimate and test the conditional version of an international capital asset pricing model using a parsimonious multivariate GARCH process and the multivariate nonlinear least squares method. Since our approaches are fully parametric, we can recover a

This paper constructs a robust optimization framework of the uncertain worst-case return. The model defines an adjustable discrete uncertainty set which controls the conservatism of the optimal asset allocation. Without prior assumptions on the data generating process, the model also develops an...

We study performance of Islamic and conventional indices of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries in the wake of financial crisis of 2008 and test whether Islamic indices were less risky than conventional indices. We make use of data of the six GCC markets as well as the Dow Jones Islamic...

This paper evaluates the time-varying integration of the Singapore stock market in the ASEAN-5 region based on

This paper tests the time-varying degree of South Asian market integration using a conditional version of the International Capital Asset Pricing Model ICAPM, and applying a GDC-GARCH. The use of the GDC-GARCH technique allows us to, first, describe the timevarying stochastic conditional...

The international asset pricing models are mostly developed in the case of parity failure (investors of different countries do not agree on the expected returns on securities). In this case, an equilibrium in the in- ternational asset markets may exist, but not in the international good markets....
