A Nonparametric Test of the Leverage Hypothesis
The so-called leverage hypothesis is that negative shocks to prices/returns affect volatility more than equal positive shocks. Whether this is attributable to changing financial leverage is still subject to dispute but the terminology is in wide use. There are many tests of the leverage hypothesis using discrete time data. These typically involve fitting of a general parametric or semiparametri...
متن کاملA test for risk-averse expected utility
We provide a condition for rationalizability by risk-averse expected utility preference in a demand-based framework with multiple commodities, which is a UNCAF statement in the sense of Chambers et al. (2014). Our test can be viewed as a natural counterpart of a classical test of expected utility, due to Fishburn (1975), in a demand setting.
متن کاملThe Test of Mean-Variance Approximations to Non-Expected Utility
This article tests the performance of the mean-variance approximations to non-expected utility functions. Previous studies justify mean-variance analysis only in the context of expected utility theory by demonstrating the excellent empirical performance of the mean-variance approximations to two of the commonly used utility functions in the study of expected utility: the power and exponential u...
متن کاملA Nonparametric Hypothesis Test via the Bootstrap Resampling
This paper adapts an already existing nonparametric hypothesis test to the bootstrap framework. The test utilizes the nonparametric kernel regression method to estimate a measure of distance between the models stated under the null hypothesis. The bootstraped version of the test allows to approximate errors involved in the asymptotic hypothesis test.
متن کاملOn the Foundations of Expected Expected Utility
Intelligent agents often need to assess user utility functions in order to make decisions on their behalf, or predict their behavior. When uncertainty exists over the precise nature of this utility function, one can model this uncertainty using a distribution over utility functions. This view lies at the core of games with incomplete information and, more recently, several proposals for increme...
