Derivative assets analysis usually takes a model of the underlying price process as given and attempts to value derivative securities relative to that...
This paper proposes an empirical estimation of implied volatility using OLS regression, Error Components, and Dummy Variable models, by regressing the...
Financial indices are constructed to capture the strong common variation in a large number of financial time series. Often, these measures are also of...
This paper analyses a model in which earnings equal the sum of permanent and transitory components. The two components are estimated from the time...
In this paper, we argue that there may be a contradiction in the use of nominal interest rates to defend a parity in a fixed exchange rate system. The...
