Asymptotic variance approximations for invariant estimators in uncertain asset-pricing models
This paper derives explicit expressions for the asymptotic variances of the maximum likelihood and continuously updated GMM estimators under potentially misspecified models. The proposed misspecification-robust variance estimators allow the researcher to conduct valid inference on the model parameters even when the model is rejected by the data. Although the results for the maximum likelihood e...
متن کاملAlternative Variance Estimators for Pricing Options
This paper examines a volatility estimation bias that may be commonly exhibited by all option pricing models on all underlying sources of risk. Black-Scholes (1972) were the first to illustrate the bias by showing that their model under priced options on relatively low variance stocks and over priced options on relatively high variance stocks. The bias is always observed in cross section among ...
متن کاملJudging Mcmc Estimators by Their Asymptotic Variance
The expectation of a function can be estimated by the empirical estimator based on the output of a Markov chain Monte Carlo method. We review results on the asymp-totic variance of the empirical estimator, and on improving the estimator by exploiting knowledge of the underlying distribution or of the transition distribution of the Markov chain.
متن کاملComparing Asset Pricing Models
A Bayesian asset-pricing test is derived that is easily computed in closed-form from the standard F-statistic. Given a set of candidate traded factors, we develop a related test procedure that permits an analysis of model comparison, i.e., the computation of model probabilities for the collection of all possible pricing models that are based on subsets of the given factors. We find that the rec...
متن کاملExponential Models: Approximations for Probabilities
Welch & Peers (1963) used a root-information prior to obtain posterior probabilities for a scalar parameter exponential model and showed that these Bayes probabilities had the confidence property to second order asymptotically. An important undercurrent of this indicates that the constant information reparameterization provides location model structure, for which the confidence property ...
