This paper explores empirically the usefulness of credit default swap (CDS)
prices as market indicators. The sample of reference entities consists of large,

Optimal investments in volatilitySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 22 - Trang 147-167 - 2008
Reinhold Hafner, Martin Wallmeier
Volatility has evolved as an attractive new asset class of its own. The most
common instruments for trading volatility are variance swaps. Mean returns of
DAX and ESX variance swaps over the time period of 1995 to 2004 are strongly
negative, and only part of the negative premium can be explained by the negative
correlation of variance swap returns with stock market indices. We analyze the
implicat... hiện toàn bộ

monetary policy shock is generated from the change in the 3-month sterling LIBOR
futures contract. Results from time-series and panel analysis indicate an
important structural break in the relationship between stock returns and

The objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between innovation
and performance for German firms that went public at the “Neuer Markt” during
the period from 1997 to 2002. In the empirical analysis we investigate in
particular whether initial public offerings (IPOs) with more or higher quality
patents outperformed IPOs with lower quality or no patented technology. For this
we measure... hiện toàn bộ
VIX changes and derivative returns on FOMC meeting daysSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 26 - Trang 315-331 - 2012
Kevin Krieger, Nathan Mauck, Denghui Chen
We examine the link between scheduled Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)
meetings and the VIX measure. Our results indicate that VIX declines
significantly on scheduled meeting dates. Unlike prior studies suggesting that
the drop in VIX is mechanical, we attribute the decline to the resolution of
uncertainty regarding future interest rates provided by the meetings. We examine
returns to investab... hiện toàn bộ
