Essays on Asset Pricing with Stochastic Discount Factors

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Many financial models are evaluated using the stochastic discount factor (SDF) approach because of its simplicity, flexibility and universality. The two essays of this work exploit these characteristics to re-examine two long-standing asset pricing topics: consumption-based and performance measurement models. The first essay develops a methodology to understand and compare the sources of pricing errors in models based on SDF moments. The method allows a new investigation of preference-based explanations of the risk-free rate, term premium and risk premium puzzles. The second essay presents a method to measure performance evaluation by developing bounds on admissible performance measures that are free from inference errors. The bounds are furthermore used in ranking mutual funds and as a diagnostic instrument for evaluating candidate performance measures. Each essay carefully establishes the empirical relevancy of the proposed methodologies. These extensions of the SDF framework provide important new insights and have numerous finance applications for academic researchers and practitioners. ····· 1036191480

The Purchasing Power Parity [PPP] theory says the price of internationally traded goods should roughly be the same anywhere in the world once the price is expressed in a common price. The question however is that does this theory hold in an economy that has experienced long period of high inflation. In this study, monthly data from January 2000 to December 2008 was used. Unit root tests were applied to the Zimbabwean exchange rates. Parallel exchange rate was used rather than the fixed official exchange rate as it reflected the market value of the Zimbabwean dollar against other currencies. In carrying out the unit root tests we used a sequential testing technique that assisted to distinguish series that were trend stationary from those that were difference stationary. Results showed that the Zimbabwean exchange rate do not follow a random walk. This implies that the Zimbabwean exchange rate maintained the long run average hence it obeyed the PPP rule. The prices of commodities in Zimbabwe followed the one real price rule despite the high inflation levels that were obtaining during the period under review. ····· 1036189177

The WTO has brought a remarkable degree of order to the world economy. While its precise structure to some extent still reflects the odd circumstances of its history, the institution as it is designed makes very good sense. Viewed as a facility for fostering cooperation in trade policy, set in a world where underlying incentives are to use trade policies in beggar-thy-neighbor ways, the WTO appears to succeed admirably in providing the necessary tools for cooperation. It constructs a variety of channels through which countries can communicate. It lays out a detailed set of rules defining cooperative behavior, rules that are well-grounded in either economic theory or history so as to be acceptable to the member countries. It permits an assortment of exceptions to these rules, some of which are regrettable but all of which were probably necessary to make it possible for many countries to participate. And finally it creates a streamlined dispute settlement mechanism that seems well-tailored to encouraging cooperation and adaptation by the participating countries. ····· 1036188643

From Preemptive Tightening to Preemptive Easing

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
This book explores the evolution of U.S. monetary doctrines and practices during the Great Moderation (c.1985-2005). In the first half of this period, policy was mainly concerned with the threat of inflation. The wish to build reputational capital as credible inflation fighters was high on the list of priorities. As the Great Moderation became entrenched in the minds of policymakers and economists, the gains were perceived as more permanently realized. At the same time, new challenges arose both within the domestic economy and the global financial system. The Federal Reserve under the leadership of Alan Greenspan (1987-2006) developed an approach to monetary policy based on the notions of preemption and risk management. The main thesis is that policy moved from a bias toward preemptive tightening to fully contain inflation, to an approach characterized by preemptive easing when perceived downside risks appear, related to financial fallouts and the threat of deflation. ····· 1036187937

Conclusion of VECM model through its IRF and FEVD is that inflation and interest rate are major variables that negatively affect the asset growth while industrial production, human capital and office branch and channeling are variables that contribute positive impact to the asset growth. Although the impact is insignificant, human capital and office branch and channeling promise long-term positive impact to the asset growth. `Murniati has shown her serious works dedicated for the development of Islamic economic practices in indonesia.

This book is on the relationship between finance and economic growth. The need to grow economies especially those of less developed countries and the the unending contentions among economists as to the relationship between finance and economic growth motivated the writing of this text. In many developing economies banks play a key role in the provision of finance,this explains the primacy these institutions are accorded in this book. In assessing the extent finance contributes to economic growth, financial intermediation by banks is used as a proxy for finance while gross domestic product growth rate represented economic growth. The book showed that the reliance on banks by most developing countries to generate growth may be unfruitful. This is because, the Nigerian case surveyed in this book noted marginal contribution by banks to economic development. ····· 1036187695
