Optimists and Pessimists in (In)Complete Markets
(2019-06-06)We study the effects of market incompleteness on speculation, investor survival, and asset pricing moments, when investors disagree about the likelihood of jumps and have recursive preferences. We consider two models. In ... -
Option-Implied Information and Predictability of Extreme Returns
(2013-01-28)We study whether prices of traded options contain information about future extreme market events. Our option-implied conditional expectation of market loss due to tail events, or tail loss measure, predicts future market ... -
OTC Discount
(2020-12-08)We document a sizable OTC discount in the interdealer market for German sovereign bonds where exchange and over-the-counter trading coexist: the vast majority of OTC prices are favorable with respect to exchange quotes. ... -

P2P Lending versus Banks: Cream Skimming or Bottom Fishing?
(2018-04-18)We derive three testable predictions from a bank-P2P lender model of competition: (i) P2P lending grows when some banks are faced with exogenously higher regulatory costs, (ii) P2P loans are riskier than bank loans; and ... -

Partial Information about Contagion Risk, Self-Exciting Processes and Portfolio Optimization
(2013-04-18)This paper compares two classes of models that allow for additional channels of correlation between asset returns: regime switching models with jumps and models with contagious jumps. Both classes of models involve a hidden ... -
Paying for Market Liquidity: Competition and Incentives
(2019-02-01)Do competition and incentives offered to designated market makers (DMMs) improve market liquidity? Using data from NYSE Euronext Paris, we show that an exogenous increase in competition among DMMs leads to a significant ... -
Peer Effects and Risk Sharing in Experimental Asset Markets
(2015-02-02)Previous research has documented strong peer effects in risk taking, but little is known about how such social influences affect market outcomes. Since the consequences of social interactions are hard to isolate in financial ... -
Performance Benefits of Tight Control
(2013-06-18)This study investigates the transition from being a listed company with a dispersed ownership structure to being a privately held company with a concentrated ownership structure. We consider a sample of private equity ... -
Portfolio Similarity and Asset Liquidation in the Insurance Industry
(2018-07-30)An important assumption underlying the designation of some insurers as systemically important is that their overlapping portfolio holdings can result in common selling. We measure the overlap in holdings using cosine ... -
Predictability and the Cross-Section of Expected Returns: A Challenge for Asset Pricing Models
(2021-01-22)"Many modern macro finance models imply that excess returns on arbitrary assets are predictable via the price-dividend ratio and the variance risk premium of the aggregate stock market. We propose a simple empirical test ... -
Predictors and Portfolios Over the Life Cycle
(2018-06-08)In a calibrated consumption-portfolio model with stock, housing, and labor income predictability, we evaluate the welfare effects of predictability on life-cycle consumption-portfolio choice. We compare skilled investors ... -

(2016-05-13)This paper introduces endogenous preference evolution into a Lucas-type economy and explores its consequences for investors' trading strategy and the dynamics of asset prices. In equilibrium, investors herd and hold the ... -
Pricing Sin Stocks: Ethical Preference vs. Risk Aversion
(2018-06-14)We develop a model that reproduces the average return and volatility spread between sin and non-sin stocks. Our investors do not necessarily boycott sin companies. Rather, they are open to invest in any company while trading ... -
Pro-rich Inflation in Europe: Implications for the Measurement of Inequality
(2018-05-17)This paper studies the distributional consequences of a systematic variation in expenditure shares and prices. Using European Union Household Budget Surveys and Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices data, we construct ... -

(2019-02-04)This paper examines how networks of professional contacts contribute to the development of the careers of executives of North American and European companies. We build a dynamic model of career progression in which career ... -
Pushing Through or Slacking Off? Heterogeneity in the Reaction to Rank Feedback
(2018-03-30)This paper studies heterogeneity in the reaction to rank feedback. In a laboratory experiment, individuals take part in a series of dynamic real-effort contests with intermediate feedback. To solve the identification problem ... -
Putting the Pension Back in 401(k) Plans: Optimal versus Default Longevity Income Annuities
(2016-09-29)Most defined contribution pension plans pay benefits as lump sums, yet the US Treasury has recently encouraged firms to protect retirees from outliving their assets by converting a portion of their plan balances into ... -
