Blog Post: Falkenblog: CAPM Never Confirmed?

Posted: 04 Jun 2012 07:28 PM PDT

I was looking at a 2004 JEP paper from Fama and French on the history of the CAPM.  Interestingly, they mention all the papers that showed the slope on CAPM betas was 'too low', and it included just about everyone.  It got me thinking: was there ever a paper that didn't estimate the security market line was 'too low?' Recall that, in cross-section 11 regressions, the Sharpe â€" Lintner...

Published / Preprint: Agent's Strategic Behavior and Risk Sharing Inefficiency. (arXiv:1206.0384v1 [q-fin.GN])

Posted: 04 Jun 2012 05:39 PM PDT

We consider the market of n financial agents who aim to increase their expected utilities by sharing their random incomes. Given the optimal sharing rules, we address the situation where agents do not share their true random endowments, but instead they report as endowments the random quantities that maximize their expected utility when the sharing rules are applied. It is shown that this...

Published / Preprint: Why price inflation in developed countries is systematically underestimated. (arXiv:1206.0450v1 [q-fin.GN])

Posted: 04 Jun 2012 05:39 PM PDT

There is an extensive historical dataset on real GDP per capita prepared by Angus Maddison. This dataset covers the period since 1870 with continuous annual estimates in developed countries. All time series for individual economies have a clear structural break between 1940 and 1950. The behavior before 1940 and after 1950 can be accurately (R2 from 0.7 to 0.99) approximated by linear time...

Published / Preprint: The Wronskian parameterizes the class of diffusions with a given distribution at a random time. (arXiv:1206.0482v1 [math.PR])

Posted: 04 Jun 2012 05:39 PM PDT

We provide a complete characterization of the class of one-dimensional time-homogeneous diffusions consistent with a given law at an exponentially distributed time using classical results in diffusion theory. To illustrate we characterize the class of diffusions with the same distribution as Brownian motion at an exponentially distributed time.

Published / Preprint: Calibration of optimal execution of financial transactions in the presence of transient market impact. (arXiv:1206.0682v1 [q-fin.TR])

Posted: 04 Jun 2012 05:39 PM PDT

Trading large volumes of a financial asset in order driven markets requires the use of algorithmic execution dividing the volume in many transactions in order to minimize costs due to market impact. A proper design of an optimal execution strategy strongly depends on a careful modeling of market impact, i.e. how the price reacts to trades. In this paper we consider a recently introduced market...

Published / Preprint: Robust utility maximization for L\'evy processes: Penalization and solvability. (arXiv:1206.0715v1 [q-fin.PM])

Posted: 04 Jun 2012 05:39 PM PDT

In this paper the robust utility maximization problem for a market model based on L\'evy processes is analyzed. The interplay between the form of the utility function and the penalization function required to have a well posed problem is studied, and for a large class of utility functions it is proved that the dual problem is solvable as well as the existence of optimal solutions. The class...

Published / Preprint: The joint distribution of stock returns is not elliptical. (arXiv:1009.1100v3 [q-fin.ST] UPDATED)

Posted: 04 Jun 2012 05:39 PM PDT

Using a large set of daily US and Japanese stock returns, we test in detail the relevance of Student models, and of more general elliptical models, for describing the joint distribution of returns. We find that while Student copulas provide a good approximation for strongly correlated pairs of stocks, systematic discrepancies appear as the linear correlation between stocks decreases, that rule...

Research Library: Optimal portfolio design to reduce climate-related conservation uncertainty in the Prairie Pothole Region

Posted: 16 May 2012 07:48 AM PDT

Amy W. Ando and  Mindy L. Mallory Abstract Climate change is likely to alter the spatial distributions of species and habitat types but the nature of such change is uncertain. Thus, climate change makes it difficult to implement standard conservation planning paradigms. Previous work has suggested some approaches to cope with such uncertainty but has not harnessed all of the benefits of...
