Heterogeneity in the Internationalization of R&D: Implications for Anomalies in Finance and Macroeconomics
(2017-10-17)Empirical evidence suggests that investments in research and development (R&D) by older and larger firms are more spread out internationally than R&D investments by younger and smaller firms. In this paper, I explore the ... -
Horizontal Industry Relationships and Return Predictability
(2019-08-09)It has been documented that vertical customer-supplier links between industries are the basis for strong cross-sectional stock return predictability (Menzly and Ozbas (2010)). We show that robust predictability also arises ... -
Idiosyncratic Risk, Aggregate Risk, and the Welfare Effects of Social Security
(2017-12-01)We ask whether a pay-as-you-go financed social security system is welfare improving in an economy with idiosyncratic productivity and aggregate business cycle risk. We show analytically that the whole welfare benefit from ... -
Idiosyncratic Volatility Puzzle: The Role of Assets' Interconnections
(2018-08-08)The paper investigates the determinants of the idiosyncratic volatility puzzle by allowing linkages across asset returns. The first contribution of the paper is to show that portfolios sorted by increasing indegree computed ... -
Implied Volatility Duration: A Measure for the Timing of Uncertainty Resolution
(2020-01-27)We introduce Implied Volatility Duration (IVD) as a new measure for the timing of uncertainty resolution, with a high IVD corresponding to late resolution. Portfolio sorts on a large cross-section of stocks indicate that ... -
Innovation Dynamics and Fiscal Policy: Implications for Growth, Asset Prices, and Welfare
(2017-04-13)"We study the general equilibrium implications of different fiscal policies on macroeconomic quantities, asset prices, and welfare by utilizing two endogenous growth models. The expanding variety model features only ... -
International Capital Markets with Time-Varying Preferences
(2017-08-02)We propose a 2-country asset-pricing model where agents' preferences change endogenously as a function of the popularity of internationally traded goods. We determine the effect of the time-variation of preferences on ... -
International Endogenous Growth, Macro Anomalies, and Asset Prices
(2016-07-20)"This paper studies a two-country production economy with complete and frictionless financial markets and international trade in which competition in R&D leads to endogenous new firm creation and economic growth. Current ... -
Investment-Specific Shocks, Business Cycles, and Asset Prices
(2016-03-14)We introduce long-run investment productivity risk in a two-sector production economy to explain the joint behavior of macroeconomic quantities and asset prices. Long-run productivity risk in both sectors, for which we ... -
Leaning Against the Wind: Debt Financing in the Face of Adversity
(2016-12-29)We offer evidence of a new stylized feature of corporate financing decisions: the tendency of managers to rely more on debt financing when earnings prospects are poor. We term this 'leaning against the wind' and consider ... -
Level and Slope of Volatility Smiles in Long-Run Risk Models
(2017-10-16)We propose a long-run risk model with stochastic volatility, a time-varying mean reversion level of volatility, and jumps in the state variables. The special feature of our model is that the jump intensity is not affine ... -
Liquidity Premia in CDS Markets
(2017-07-14)We develop a state-space model to decompose bid and ask quotes of CDS into two components, fair default premium and liquidity premium. This approach gives a better estimate of the default premium than mid quotes, and it ... -
Liquidity provision: Normal times vs Crashes
(2019-10-29)We study the role of various trader types in providing liquidity in spot and futures markets based on data from the National Stock Exchange of India for a single large stock. During normal times, short-term traders who ... -
Low-Latency Trading and Price Discovery: Evidence from the Tokyo Stock Exchange in the Pre-Opening and Opening Periods
(2015-03-01)We study whether the presence of low-latency traders (including high-frequency traders (HFTs)) in the pre-opening period contributes to market quality, defined by price discovery and liquidity provision, in the opening ... -
Measuring Sovereign Contagion in Europe
(2015-04-01)This paper analyzes sovereign risk shift-contagion, i.e. positive and significant changes in the propagation mechanisms, using bond yield spreads for the major eurozone countries. By emphasizing the use of two econometric ... -
Momentum-managed equity factors
(2019-07-22)Managed portfolios that exploit positive first-order autocorrelation in monthly excess returns of equity factor portfolios produce large alphas and gains in Sharpe ratios. We document this finding for factor portfolios ... -
Much Ado About Nothing: A Study of Differential Pricing and Liquidity of Short and Long Term Bonds
(2018-11-01)Are yields of long-maturity bonds distorted by demand pressure of clientele investors, regulatory effects, or default, flight-to-safety or liquidity premiums? Using data on German nominal bonds between 2005 and 2015, we ... -
Mutual Excitation in Eurozone Sovereign CDS
(2014-05-01)We study self- and cross-excitation of shocks in the Eurozone sovereign CDS market. We adopt a multivariate setting with credit default intensities driven by mutually exciting jump processes, to capture the salient features ... -
"Nobody is Perfect": Asset Pricing and Long-Run Survival When Heterogeneous Investors Exhibit Different Kinds of Filtering Errors
(2015-07-31)In this paper we analyze an economy with two heterogeneous investors who both exhibit misspecified filtering models for the unobservable expected growth rate of the aggregated dividend. A key result of our analysis with ... -
Optimal Consumption and Investment with Epstein-Zin Recursive Utility
(2016-07-04)We study continuous-time optimal consumption and investment with Epstein-Zin recursive preferences in incomplete markets. We develop a novel approach that rigorously constructs the solution of the associated Hamilton-Jac ...
