There is a free lunch after all
The title of William Dembski’s book No Free Lunch (Dembski 2002a) indicates that he perceives the no free lunch (NFL) theorems (Wolpert and Macready 1997) as pivotal to his thesis asserting that “specified complexity cannot be purchased without intelligence.” Indeed, many statements in Dembski’s book emphasize the crucial role of the NFL theorems. However, in his response (2002b) to a review re...
متن کاملIs there Abnormal Return after Seasoned Equity Offerings?
Previous studies have documented that firms participating in Seasoned Equity Offerings (SEO) show substantial long-run stock underperformance. This finding poses one of the strongest challenges to the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH). However, other studies argue that these empirical studies are plagued by the inability of the matching techniques to properly control for all risk factors, and t...
متن کاملThe Risk Return Tradeoff: A COGARCH Analysis of Merton’s Hypothesis
We analysed daily returns of the CRSP value weighted and equally weighted indices over 1953-2007 in order to test for Merton’s theorised relationship between risk and return. Like some previous studies we used a GARCH stochastic volatility approach, employing not only traditional discrete time GARCH models but also using a COGARCH – a newly developed continuous-time GARCH model which allows for...
متن کاملPro-growth, pro-poor: Is there a tradeoff?
Is a pro-growth strategy always the best pro-poor strategy? To address this issue, this paper provides an empirical evaluation of the impact of a series of pro-growth policies on inequality and headcount poverty. We rely on a large macroeconomic data set and estimate dynamic panel models that allow us to differentiate between the shortand longrun impacts of the policies under consideration on g...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Risk-Return Tradeoff in the Stock Market
We find that past stock market variance forecasts excess stock market returns and that its predictive ability is greatly enhanced if the consumption-wealth ratio is also included in the forecasting equation. While the risk-return tradeoff is found negative if we use the latter as the instrumental variable for the conditional moments, the former suggests a positive one. We argue that the consump...
