A simple event study test for volatility with an application to coup d'\u00e9tats<\/a><\/h2>
With Yarema Okhrin and Tomasz Wisniewski, available at SSRN. Event studies in finance typically estimate the effects of corporate or macroeconomic events on mean returns of stocks or portfolios. While effects on mean returns have been studied extensively, a commonly accepted and widely used method for the volatility of returns does not currently exist, owing … <\/p>Read More<\/a><\/div>
<\/div>\nStock price synchronicity under fat-tailed stock returns<\/a><\/h2>
This paper addresses a subtle but important assumption in the broad literature on stock price synchronicity, that is, whether the standard errors used in hypothesis testing are well defined. Findings of relationships between synchronicity and explanatory variables are often unstable or reverse their sign in subsequent research using a different time period. This paper offers a simple explanation for these contradictory findings. Research into stock price synchronicity has a kurtosis problem. As a consequence, results in research using R-squared as a dependent variable are suspect. Estimation of stock price synchronicity typically requires the kurtosis of underlying firm-specific returns to be finite, but a large proportion of stocks is likely to have infinite or undefined kurtosis, which invalidates estimates of synchronicity for these stocks. Therefore, stock price synchronicity cannot be known in general and may be estimated only if finiteness of kurtosis can be established.Read More<\/a><\/div>
<\/div>\nFat tails in private equity fund returns: The smooth double Pareto distribution<\/a><\/h2>
A new smooth double Pareto distribution can explain the stationary distribution of private equity funds\u2019 valuation multiples. Fat tails are particularly pronounced in venture capital funds and suggest returns with infinite variance over the lifetime of the fund. The smooth double Pareto distribution has wide applicability to growth processes with a random initial value.Read More<\/a><\/div>
<\/div>\nEstimating the value of an inflation-capped pension from market data<\/a><\/h2>
The University Superannuation Scheme (USS) is planning to introduce a cap of 2.5% for inflation adjustments to its members’ accrued pensions. The effect of this cap is to increase new accrued pension benefits in line with official consumer prices (CPI) but only up to 2.5% per year. If inflation runs hotter than 2.5%, that year’s … <\/p>Read More<\/a><\/div>

Abstract: This paper examines the relationship between firms\u2019 innovation activities and the hierarchy of financing behaviours. We analyse the role of innovation inputs (R&D), intermediate outputs (patents) and outcomes (product and process innovations) as sources of information asymmetry in financing decisions. Our focus on mainly unlisted companies allows us to … <\/p>Read More<\/a><\/div>

Abstract:<\/b>Venture capital has been identified as a key enabler of growth in modern knowledge-based economies and has figured prominently in the European innovation policy debate.
