Universidad de Cantabria. This book was released on 2019-02-15 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do financial derivatives enhance or impede innovation? We aim to answer this question by examining the relationship between equity options markets and standard measures of firm innovation. Our baseline results show that firms with more options trading activity generate more patents and patent citations per dollar of R&D invested. We then investigate how more active options markets affect firms' innovation strategy. Our results suggest that firms with greater trading activity pursue a more creative, diverse and risky innovation strategy. We discuss potential underlying mechanisms and show that options appear to mitigate managerial career concerns that would induce managers to take actions that boost short-term performance measures. Finally, using several econometric specifications that try to account for the potential endogeneity of options trading, we argue that the positive effect of options trading on firm innovation is causal.

This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Economics - Finance, grade: 2,7, University of Mannheim, course: The Evolution of Financial Markets, language: English, abstract: In the essay the author discusses some of the most important risks and threats of using financial derivatives by explaining them. The essay deals with questions like: Are financial derivatives really a threat for firms and, worse, for the whole economy? Do they increase welfare? If yes, who benefit the most? Are there losers? Warren Buffet, without any doubt one of the most famous investors of the world, once referred to financial derivatives as “Financial weapons of mass destruction”. Ed Murray, practicing lawyer and senior member of the Allen & Overy team advising ISDA (International Swaps and Derivatives Association), states that derivatives played an important role and worsened the Financial Crisis. Many more influential people seem to point accusing fingers to financial derivatives, stating that derivatives may bear significant problems people are underestimating. Since the derivatives market have been growing immensely since the 1970s to todays unbelievable estimated notional value of 1,2 quadrillion US dollars, more than ten times the gross world product (107,5 trillion US dollars), financial derivatives play an extremely important and growing role in todays financial system. Therefore we should be aware of the problems, risks and threats coming with the usage of derivatives instrument.

Download or read book Essays on Information and Derivative Markets written by Kevin C. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first chapter ("Option Prices and Disclosure: Theory and Measurement"), I develop an option-pricing model that formally incorporates a disclosure event. The model suggests that an understanding of a firm's disclosure policies can aid in efficiently pricing its options. Specifically, I find that 1) more informative disclosures lead to greater volatility in the firm's equity price upon their release, raising pre-disclosure option prices and 2) disclosures that are more informative for good-versus-bad news lead to skewness in the firm's equity price upon their release, adjusting the relative pre-disclosure prices of out-of-the-money and in-the-money options. Using these results, I develop measures of a disclosure's properties based on option prices that may be calculated on an event-specific basis. In the second chapter ("Additional Analyses of Option Prices and Disclosure"), I conduct further studies of the relationship between disclosure and option prices. First, I study the relationship between option prices and disclosure in static and dynamic models of voluntary disclosure. Second, I extend the measures developed in the first chapter to the case in which a firm's fundamentals are asymmetric. Third, I show that option-based measures of volatility and skewness developed in prior literature are not able to function as measures of a disclosure's properties. Finally, I show that the results in the first chapter apply for a multitude of disclosure properties found throughout the literature. In the third chapter ("Financial Markets with Trade on Risk and Return"), I develop a model in which risk-averse investors trade on private information regarding both a stock's expected payoff and risk. These investors may trade in the stock and a derivative whose payoff is a function of the stock's risk. I study the role played by the derivative, finding that it is used to speculate on future risk and to hedge risk uncertainty. Unlike prior rational expectation models with derivatives, its price serves a valuable informational role, communicating investors' risk information. Finally, I find that the equity risk premium is directly tied to the derivative price.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans cette thèse de doctorat, nous abordons trois problématiques de la théorie des produits dérivés, en apportant pour chacune d'entre-elles un éclairage empirique. Dans le premier chapitre, nous proposons un modèle théorique d'évaluation d'options où deux sources de discontinuités sont considérées: l'arrivée d'informations prévues et imprévues. En nous basant sur un échantillon d'options suisses, nous comparons la performance empirique du modèle proposé avec celle des modèles classiques d'évaluation d'options. Dans le deuxième chapitre, nous étudions la dynamique de la volatilité implicite autour des annonces de bénéfices des firmes suisses. Une étude empirique sur le marché suisse entre 1989 et 1998 est proposée. Dans le troisième chapitre, des méthodes d'extraction d'informations sont appliquées à une base de données à haute fréquence d'options françaises. Les fonctions d'aversion relative au risque estimées sont positives et consistante avec l'hypothèse d'aversion relative au risque constante (CRRA).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These two essays demonstrate the important role that derivative markets play in assimilating information into financial markets. In the first essay I use the 2008 short-selling ban to examine the impact of single-stock futures (SSFs) trading on options market quality. I show that there is a substitution effect between options trading and SSFs trading during the ban period. In addition, my results show that SSFs trading had a significant effect in narrowing the bid-ask spreads of options contracts. Moreover, compared to stocks without SSFs, stocks with SSFs were less likely to violate put-call parity during the ban period. My results suggest that SSFs trading helps mitigate the negative effect of the short-selling ban on options market quality documented in the literature.In the second essay I look at information flows through large option trades. The motivation comes from CNBC's "Halftime Report" which regularly covers unusual option activity, i.e., those abnormally large trades, and recommend investors to follow the "smart money". I investigate the impact of the CNBC coverage on underlying stock prices and whether investors can indeed profit by following the "smart money". I document an immediate spike in trading volume and abnormal returns at the time of the CNBC coverage, and evidence that the unusual option trades are informative of stock prices around the coverage. However, I also document a significant reversal in underlying stock prices following the CNBC coverage. Using the same criteria advocated by the CNBC commentators, I identify unusual option activities for a large sample of stocks without CNBC coverage. I confirm that the unusual option trades significantly predict underlying stock returns, but find no evidence of reversal in underlying stock prices. My findings suggest that the CNBC coverage of unusual option activity has a destabilizing effect on underlying stock prices and investors cannot profit by simply following the CNBC reporting on the "smart money".
