We derive a formula for the expected return on a stock in terms of the risk-neutral variance of the market and the stock's excess risk-neutral variance relative to the average stock. These quantities can be computed from index and stock option prices; the formula has no free parameters. The...

Regulation often evolves, and affected consumers or firms may adjust their behavior in anticipation of potential changes to regulation. Using shifting land use regulation boundaries and oil lease prices from Canada, we estimate the effect of anticipated regulatory change on the value of land. We...

We show that the standard equation-by-equation OLS used in performance evaluation ignores information in the alpha population and leads to severely biased estimates for the alpha population. We propose a new framework that treats fund alphas as random effects. Our framework allows us to make...

Schätzungen für Parameter einer unbekannten Grundgesamtheit aus vorgegebenen Stichprobendaten mit Hilfe des von R. A. Fisher (1890-1962) eingeführten Maximum-Likelihood Prinzips (gleich Größ-tes Wahrscheinlichkeitsprinzip) sind integraler Bestandteil von Grundkursen in Schließender...

Our paper addresses the correction of the aggregation bias in linear rational expectations modelswhen there is some unobserved micro-parameter heterogeneity and only macro data are available.Starting from Lewbel (1994), we propose two new consistent estimators, which rely on aexible parametric...

Der Erwartungswert spielt in den Wirtschaftswissenschaften bei vielen Problemen, in denen stochastische Einflüsse berücksichtigt werden, eine zentrale Rolle. Dies kann unmittelbar der Fall sein, indem der Erwartungswert einer monetären Zielgröße optimiert wird, dies kann z. B. auch im...

This paper studies the term structure implications of a simple structural economy in which the representative agent displays ambiguity aversion, modeled by Multiple Priors Recursive Utility. Bond excess returns reflect a premium for ambiguity, which is observationally distinct from the risk...
