During recession, many macroeconomic variables display higher levels of volatility. We show how introducing an AR(1)-ARCH(1) driving process into the canonical Lucas consumption CAPM framework can account for the empirically observed greater volatilty of asset returns during recessions. In particular, agents' joint forecasting of levels and time-varying second moments transforms symmetric-volat...

Digitalization has transformed industries and societies in profound manner. Some changes have been documented as increased productivity and reduced costs of communications and information processing, to name a few. However, new technologies are not always fully embraced by organizations. This paper delves into barriers and facilitators surrounding adoption of digital technologies. The study was...

In the paper, we use three years of monthly data to compute loadings on the labor market tightness factor. We now evaluate robustness of our results to different beta estimation horizons. In Table IA.I, we estimate betas using 24, 48, or 60 months of data and otherwise do not modify our empirical methods. For all considered horizons, the differences in future performance of portfolios with low ...

A great deal of work has been done to try and quantify the costs of digital curation and much of it has focused on assigning a cost value, either to various parts of the lifecycle of digital objects or to stages in the curation workflow. These models tend to assume that an organisational capability to curate is a given and have not tended to factor in the economic considerations associated with...

This paper presents a test of multi-period asset pricing models using quarterly Philippine data. Using a consumption-based asset-pricing model, the study finds the rate of time preference to be 5.20 percent (on an annual basis). The estimated risk aversion coefficient of 0.043 seems to be on the low side when compared with estimates for other countries. Hansen's J-test finds favorable evidence ...

We combine the theory of finite-dimensional lattice subspaces and the theory of regular values for maps between smoothmanifolds in order to study the completion of real asset markets by options. The strike asset of the options is supposed to be a nominal asset. The main result of the paper is like in the case of the completion of a nominal asset market by options that if the strike asset of the...

In this paper it has been attempted to investigate the capability of the consumption-based capital asset pricing model (CCAPM), using the general method of moment (GMM), with regard to the Epstien-zin recursive preferences model for Iran's capital market. Generally speaking, recursive utility permits disentangling of the two psychologically separate concepts of risk aversion and elasticity of i...

In this chapter we provide an overview of the concept of blockchain technology and its potential to disrupt the world of banking through facilitating global money remittance, smart contracts, automated banking ledgers and digital assets. In this regard, we first provide a brief overview of the core aspects of this technology, as well as the second-generation contract-based developments. From th...
