Risk aversion is a key element of utility maximizing hedge strategies; however, it has typically been assigned an arbitrary value in the literature. This paper instead applies a GARCH-in-Mean (GARCH-M) model to estimate a ...
This paper investigates the risk-return relationship in determination of housing asset
pricing. In so doing, the paper evaluates behavioral hypotheses advanced by Case and
Shiller (1988, 2002, 2009) in studies of boom ...

This study presents nonparametric estimates of spectral risk measures (SRM)
applied to long and short positions in five prominent equity futures contracts. It
also compares these to estimates of two popular alternative ...
In terms of risk measurement, probability and quantile risk estimation have developed enormously in the past decade, from value-at-risk measures to coherent measures such as expected shortfall. These measures allow an ...
This paper compares real and nominal foreign exchange
volatility effects on exports. Using a flexible lag version of the
Goldstein-Khan two-country imperfect substitutes model for
bilateral trade, we identify the overall ...
