Posted: 13 Nov 2014 06:00 PM PST The total value of domestic market capitalization of the Mexican Stock Exchange was calculated at 520 billion of dollars by the end of November 2013. To manage this system and make optimum capital investments, its dynamics needs to be predicted. However, randomness within the stock indexes makes forecasting a difficult task. To address this issue, in this work, trends and fractality were studied... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article. |

Posted: 13 Nov 2014 06:00 PM PST We derive a forward equation for arbitrage-free barrier option prices, in terms of Markovian projections of the stochastic volatility process, in continuous semi-martingale models. This provides a Dupire-type formula for the coefficient derived by Brunick and Shreve for their mimicking diffusion and can be interpreted as the canonical extension of local volatility for barrier options....

Posted: 12 Nov 2014 05:38 PM PST This paper studies Markovian asset pricing models where the underlying economic uncertainty follows a continuous-time Markov process X with a general state space (namely, a Borel right process (BRP)) and the pricing kernel (stochastic discount factor, state-price density) is a positive semimartingale multiplicative functional of X. We establish uniqueness of a positive eigenfunction of the... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article. |
Published / Preprint: Long Term Risk: A Martingale Approach. (arXiv:1411.3078v1 [q-fin.EC]) Posted: 12 Nov 2014 05:37 PM PST This paper extends the long-term factorization of the pricing kernel due to Alvarez and Jermann (2005) in discrete time ergodic environments and Hansen and Scheinkman (2009) in continuous ergodic Markovian environments to general semimartingale environments, without assuming the Markov property. An explicit and easy to verify sufficient condition is given that guarantees convergence in Emery's... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article. |

Published / Preprint: No News Is News: Do Markets Underreact to Nothing? Posted: 11 Nov 2014 08:55 PM PST As illustrated in the tale of "the dog that did not bark," the absence of news and the passage of time often contain information. We test whether markets fully incorporate this information using the empirical context of mergers. During the year after merger announcement, the passage of time is informative about the probability that the merger will ultimately complete. We show that the variation...

Published / Preprint: Media Makes Momentum Posted: 11 Nov 2014 08:55 PM PST Relying on 2.2 million articles from forty-five national and local U.S. newspapers between 1989 and 2010, we find that firms particularly covered by the media exhibit, ceteris paribus, significantly stronger momentum. The effect depends on article tone, reverses in the long run, is more pronounced for stocks with high uncertainty, and is stronger in states with high investor individualism. Our...

Published / Preprint: Opacity in Financial Markets Posted: 11 Nov 2014 08:55 PM PST This paper studies the implications of opacity in financial markets for investor behavior, asset prices, and welfare. Transparent funds (e.g., mutual funds) and opaque funds (e.g., hedge funds) trade transparent assets (e.g., plain-vanilla products) and opaque assets (e.g., structured products). Investors observe neither opaque funds' portfolios nor opaque assets' payoffs. Consistent with... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article. |
Published / Preprint: Strategic Complementarity, Fragility, and Regulation Posted: 11 Nov 2014 08:55 PM PST Fragility is affected by how the balance sheet composition of financial intermediaries, the precision of information signals, and market stress parameters all influence the extent of strategic complementarity among investors' strategies. A solvency and a liquidity ratio are required to control the likelihood of insolvency and illiquidity. The solvency requirement must be strengthened in the face...

Published / Preprint: What Happens in Nevada? Self-Selecting into Lax Law Posted: 11 Nov 2014 08:55 PM PST We find that Nevada, the second most popular state for out-of-state incorporations and a state with lax corporate law, attracts firms that are 30–40% more likely to report financial results that later require restatement than firms incorporated in other states, including Delaware. Our results suggest that firms favoring protections for insiders select Nevada as a corporate home, and these... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article. |
Published / Preprint: Cash-Flow Sensitivities and the Allocation of Internal Cash Flow Posted: 11 Nov 2014 08:55 PM PST We study how firms allocate cash flow by estimating the cash-flow sensitivities of various uses of cash flow. We decompose cash flow into a transitory and a permanent component and focus on the allocation of the transitory component, which by construction contains little information about future growth opportunities. We find that more financially constrained firms allocate more transitory cash... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article. |
Posted: 11 Nov 2014 08:55 PM PST We analyze participation decisions in employee stock purchase plans. These plans allow employees to buy company stock at a discount from the market price and resell it immediately for a sure profit. Although an average employee stands to gain $3,079 annually, only 30% of individuals take advantage of this risk-free opportunity. Participation is more likely among employees who are familiar with... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article. |

Posted: 11 Nov 2014 05:37 PM PST We analyze a generalized version of the Black-Scholes equation depending on a parameter $a\!\in \!(-\infty,0)$. It satisfies the martingale condition and coincides with the Black-Scholes equation in the limit case $a\nearrow 0$. We show that the generalized equation is exactly solvable in terms of Hermite polynomials and numerically compare its solution with the solution of... Visit MoneyScience for the Complete Article. |
Posted: 11 Nov 2014 05:37 PM PST In a unified framework we study equilibrium in the presence of an insider having information on the signal of the firm value, which is naturally connected to the fundamental price of the firm related asset. The fundamental value itself is announced at a future random (stopping) time. We consider the two cases in which this release time of information is known and not known, respectively, to the...
