Combining Alphas via Bounded Regression
We give an explicit algorithm and source code for combining alpha streams via bounded regression. In practical applications, typically, there is insufficient history to compute a sample covariance matrix (SCM) for a large number of alphas. To compute alpha allocation weights, one then resorts to (weighted) regression over SCM principal components. Regression often produces alpha weights with in...
متن کاملSystematic Mispricing
We provide statistical estimates of individual security mispricing which is defined as the departure of the market price from the prediction of a fundamental asset pricing model. We show that there is a return premium associated with systematic mispricing risk which is the dependence of the individual security mispricing on a market wide mispricing factor. The risk or characteristic-adjusted re...
متن کاملHow Important Is Mispricing?
Despite abundant evidence that firms’ characteristics predict their asset returns, we know little about how much firms’ asset prices deviate from their true values. Such mispricing could be distinct from observed return predictability if investors have biased beliefs that are not highly correlated with firms’ characteristics. We use a model to estimate the extent of information processing biase...
متن کاملWho Benefits from Pension Enhancements?
During the late 1990s public pension funds across the United States accrued large actuarial surpluses. The seemingly flush conditions of the pension funds led legislators in most states to substantially improve retirement benefits for public workers, including teachers. In this study we examine the benefit enhancements to the teacher pension system in Missouri. The enhancements resulted in larg...
متن کاملThe Gains from Pension Reform
We characterize pension systems along three dimensions: 1) actuarial vs. nonactuarial, 2) funded vs. pay-as-you-go, 3) defined-contribution vs. defined-benefit. Increasing the degree of actuarial fairness, by strengthening the linkage between contributions and benefits, reduces labor market distortions and may increase welfare in a Pareto-efficiency sense. Increasing the degree of funding impli...
