Most empirical evidence on stock market seasonality is based on the Dummy Variable Approach (DVA). Typically, the DVA leaves too much variability of stock returns unexplained and inference usually leads to weak or null ... -

Autorregresive conditional volatility, skewness and kurtosis
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2002)This paper proposes a GARCH-type model allowing for time-varying volatility, skewness and kurtosis. The model is estimated assuming a Gram-Charlier series expansion of the normal density function for the error term, which ... -

Option-Implied Preferences Adjustments and Risk-Neutral Density Forecasts
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2005-06)The main objective of this paper is to analyse the value of information contained in prices of options on the IBEX 35 index at the Spanish Stock Exchange Market. The forward looking information is extracted using implied ... -
Smiling under stochastic volatility
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2002)This paper studies the behavior of the implied volatility function (smile) when the true distribution of the underlying asset is consistent with the stochastic volatility model proposed by Heston (1993). The main result ... -
Switching Equilibria: The Present Value Model for Stock Prices Revisited

Testing the Forecasting Performance of Ibex 35 Option-implied Risk-neutral Densities
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2005-01)The main objective of this paper is to test whether the risk-neutral densities (RNDs) implied in the prices of the future options contract on the Spanish IBEX 35 index accurately predict the distribution of future outcomes ... -

The Relationship between Risk and Expected Return in Europe
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2005-01)We employ MIDAS (Mixed Data Sampling) to study the risk-expected return trade-off in several European stock indices. Using MIDAS, we report that, in most indices, there is a significant and positive relationship between ... -
