The paper presents a measure of the intertemporal cross correlation between two time series and reports evidence of the presence of intertemporal cross dependence between the returns of NYSE stocks and those of the SP 500, showing that frequently traded stocks behave differently from stocks with...

A fast and accurate method for pricing early exercise and certain exotic options in computational finance is presented. The method is based on a quadrature technique and relies heavily on Fourier transformations. The main idea is to reformulate the well-known risk-neutral valuation formula by...

We present a pricing method based on Fourier-cosine expansions for early-exercise and discretely-monitored barrier options. The method works well for exponential Levy asset price models. The error convergence is exponential for processes characterized by very smooth transitional probability...

Here we develop an option pricing method for European options based on the Fourier-cosine series, and call it the COS method. The key insight is in the close relation of the characteristic function with the series coefficients of the Fourier-cosine expansion of the density function. In most...

The paper examines and explains why estimates of systematic risk (beta coefficient) shift the time-interval used to measure returns changes

A review and interpretation of stock market anomalies in their effect on the pricing of equity.

This paper examines the implications of microstructure theory for empirical research on stock price behavior

This study uses the Market Model to assess the risk of securities in a thinner stock market, the Brussels Stock Exchange (Belgium) and compares the results to similar findings in French and U.S. stock exchanges.
