Spot asset carry cost rates and futures hedge ratiosReview of Quantitative Finance and Accounting - Tập 58 - Trang 1741-1779 - 2022
Dean Leistikow, Ren-Raw Chen, Yuewu Xu
Since the 1970s, futures hedge ratios have traditionally been calculated ex-post
via economically structure-less statistical analyses. This paper proposes an
ex-ante, more efficient, computationally simpler, general “carry cost rate”
hedge ratio. The proposed hedge ratio is biased, but its bias is readily
mitigatable via a stationary Bias Adjustment Multiplier (BAM). The 2-part
intuition for the B... hiện toàn bộ
The impact of cost allocation errors on price and product-mix decisionsReview of Quantitative Finance and Accounting - Tập 51 - Trang 497-527 - 2017
C. Homburg, Julia Nasev, Philipp Plank
We use simulations to examine the impact of cost allocation errors on pricing
and product-mix decisions. We compare the imperfect cost allocation of cost
systems based on heuristics to the ideal cost allocation of a benchmark model.
First, we find that more complex cost systems are associated with substantially
lower profit errors. Second, we decompose the profit error and find that

The effect of increased disclosure on cost of capital: Evidence from ChinaReview of Quantitative Finance and Accounting - Tập 27 - Trang 383-401 - 2006
Li Zhang, Shujun Ding
This study examined the relationship between disclosure and the cost of capital.
Prior studies empirically testing this relationship provided mixed findings, and
also raised several concerns, such as the endogeneity of disclosure, the
information disclosure environment, and the sample size. This study investigated
this relationship based on data from the Chinese capital market where a unique

Monetary policy, financial shocks and economic activityReview of Quantitative Finance and Accounting - Tập 59 - Trang 429-456 - 2022
Anastasios Evgenidis, Anastasios G. Malliaris
This paper contributes to a fuller understanding of macroeconomic outcomes to
financial market disturbances and the central bank’s role in financial
stability. Our two major contributions are conceptual and econometric.
Conceptually, we introduce phases of the business cycle and econometrically we
employ Bayesian VARs. We document that a shock that increases credit to
non-financial sector leads to... hiện toàn bộ
An evaluation of alternative methods used in the estimation of Gaussian term structure modelsReview of Quantitative Finance and Accounting - Tập 44 - Trang 1-24 - 2013
Januj Juneja
This paper provides an evaluation of five methods, proposed in the literature,
for extracting factors used in the estimation of Gaussian affine term structure
models. We assert that irrespective of the method used for extracting state
variables, cross-sectional and serial correlations exist in measurement errors.
However, using a simulation design which is consistent with the data, we show
that pa... hiện toàn bộ
Diversification of pre-IPO ownership and foreign IPO performanceReview of Quantitative Finance and Accounting - - 2016
Ning Jia
We examine the diversification of pre-IPO ownership of foreign-listed firms and
how the presence of pre-IPO shareholders from the host country affects foreign
issuer’s subsequent IPO and post-IPO activities. Using a sample of
foreign-listed Chinese firms, we find that the presence of pre-IPO shareholders
from the host country is associated with a significant reduction in direct and
indirect IPO co... hiện toàn bộ
Post-earnings announcement drift and parameter uncertainty: evidence from industry and market newsReview of Quantitative Finance and Accounting - Tập 55 - Trang 695-738 - 2019
Claire Y. C. Liang, Rengong Zhang
Post-earnings announcement drift (PEAD), one of the most prominent and robust
return anomalies, is often attributed to investor naiveté or irrationality. A
competing explanation is parameter uncertainty, which posits that PEAD may occur
as rational investors encounter parameter uncertainty and must learn about the
true values of a firm’s pricing parameters over time. This study extends the

Shareholder taxation and aggregate dividend payout: Evidence from the tax reform act of 1986Review of Quantitative Finance and Accounting - Tập 3 - Trang 459-468 - 1993
Douglas J. Lamdin
The effect of shareholder taxation on corporate dividend policy is a major
controversy in financial economics. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 eliminated the
statutory tax disadvantage of dividends versus long-term capital gains for
individual shareholders. Using aggregate time series data I find evidence that
corporate dividend payout has become more generous in the period after tax
reform.
A Model of Return Volatility with Application to Estimating Relative Risk AversionReview of Quantitative Finance and Accounting - - 1999
Mark Klock, Robert F. Phillips
We estimate a monthly return volatility model that allows for the abrupt changes
in volatility often observed in returns data. Using this model we are able to
identify key months likely to correspond to draws from a high volatility regime.
Using our model in conjunction with Merton's (1980) model relating expected risk
premia to risk we obtain reasonable estimates of the coefficient of relative

The profitability of interest arbitrage when the base currency is pegged to a basketReview of Quantitative Finance and Accounting - Tập 37 - Trang 267-281 - 2010
Imad Moosa
When the interest rate on a currency that is pegged to a basket differs from the
interest rate on the basket (as a weighted average), it is possible to make
profit from interest arbitrage by going short on the basket and long on the
pegged currency, or vice versa. This proposition is illustrated by using data on
the Kuwaiti dinar and its basket currencies over the period 1998–2002 when the
