Book Asset Prices  Booms and Recessions

Download or read book Asset Prices Booms and Recessions written by Willi Semmler and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-15 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The financial market melt-down of the years 2007-2009 has posed great challenges for studies on financial economics. This financial economics text focuses on the dynamic interaction of financial markets and economic activity. The financial market to be studied here encompasses the money and bond market, credit market, stock market and foreign exchange market; economic activity includes the actions and interactions of firms, banks, households, governments and countries. The book shows how economic activity affects asset prices and the financial market, and how asset prices and financial market volatility and crises impact economic activity. The book offers extensive coverage of new and advanced topics in financial economics such as the term structure of interest rates, credit derivatives and credit risk, domestic and international portfolio theory, multi-agent and evolutionary approaches, capital asset pricing beyond consumption-based models, and dynamic portfolio decisions. Moreover a completely new section of the book is dedicated to the recent financial market meltdown of the years 2007-2009. Emphasis is placed on empirical evidence relating to episodes of financial instability and financial crises in the U.S. and in Latin American, Asian and Euro-area countries. Overall, the book explains what researchers and practitioners in the financial sector need to know about the financial-real interaction, and what practitioners and policy makers need to know about the financial market.

Book Asset Pricing in a Production Economy with Heterogeneous Investors

Download or read book Asset Pricing in a Production Economy with Heterogeneous Investors written by Jin E. Zhang and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper is a theoretical examination of the stochastic behavior of equilibrium asset prices in an economy consisting of a production process controlled by a state variable representing the state of technology. The investors with different degrees of risk aversion and time preferences trade and lend among themselves in order to maximize their individual utilities of life time consumption. The allocation of wealth fluctuates randomly among them and acts as a state variable against which each investor wants to hedge. This hedging motive complicates the investor's portfolio choice and the equilibrium in the production economy. A general method of constructing equilibrium asset prices is developed and the wealth effect in the general equilibrium is discussed.The equilibrium market prices of risks and risk-free rate in a production economy with one representative investor has been presented by Cox, Ingersoll and Ross (1985). Considerable progress has been made by Dumas (1989) and Vasicek (2005) on the case of heterogeneous investors, however a complete description of the general equilibrium in the production economy with heterogeneous investors is yet to be developed. That is the focus of this paper.This paper establishes an economic model for the equilibrium asset prices by solving the joint optimization problem with proper market clearing conditions. The equilibrium conditions of the two party dynamic game are written as a set of two highly entangled nonlinear partial differential equations. The result can be extended to handle the case of multiple heterogeneous investors.

Book Financial Asset Pricing

Download or read book Financial Asset Pricing written by Paul E. Schulz and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In finance, the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) is used to determine a theoretically appropriate required rate of return of an asset. This book presents current research in the study of financial asset pricing, including monetary policy and boom-bust cycles in asset pricing; migration dynamics of stock movements between portfolios; return calculation in international mutual funds; risk premium, market price of risk, and stochastic price models for commodities; computation finance for stochastic volatility and correlation; and consumption-based asset pricing model (CCAPM) in Latin America.

Book Empirical Asset Pricing

Download or read book Empirical Asset Pricing written by Wayne Ferson and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introduction to the theory and methods of empirical asset pricing, integrating classical foundations with recent developments. This book offers a comprehensive advanced introduction to asset pricing, the study of models for the prices and returns of various securities. The focus is empirical, emphasizing how the models relate to the data. The book offers a uniquely integrated treatment, combining classical foundations with more recent developments in the literature and relating some of the material to applications in investment management. It covers the theory of empirical asset pricing, the main empirical methods, and a range of applied topics. The book introduces the theory of empirical asset pricing through three main paradigms: mean variance analysis, stochastic discount factors, and beta pricing models. It describes empirical methods, beginning with the generalized method of moments (GMM) and viewing other methods as special cases of GMM; offers a comprehensive review of fund performance evaluation; and presents selected applied topics, including a substantial chapter on predictability in asset markets that covers predicting the level of returns, volatility and higher moments, and predicting cross-sectional differences in returns. Other chapters cover production-based asset pricing, long-run risk models, the Campbell-Shiller approximation, the debate on covariance versus characteristics, and the relation of volatility to the cross-section of stock returns. An extensive reference section captures the current state of the field. The book is intended for use by graduate students in finance and economics; it can also serve as a reference for professionals.

Book Structural Economic Dynamics

Download or read book Structural Economic Dynamics written by Luigi Pasinetti and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-11-02 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a theoretical investigation of the influence of human learning on the development through time of a 'pure labour' economy. The theory proposed is a simple one, but aims to grasp the essential features of all industrial economies. Economists have long known that two basic phenomena lie at the root of long-term economic movements in industrial societies: capital accumulation and technical progress. Attention has been concentrated on the former. In this book, by contrast, technical progress is assigned the central role. Within a multi-sector framework, the author examines the structural dynamics of prices, production and employment (implied by differentiated rates of productivity growth and expansion of demand) against a background of 'natural' relations. He also considers a number of institutional problems. Institutional and social learning, know-how, and the diffusion of knowledge emerge as the decisive factors accounting for the success and failure of industrial societies.

Book Asset Pricing in Home Production Economies

Download or read book Asset Pricing in Home Production Economies written by Ivan Jaccard and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In search of a model linking financial and housing markets to the real economy, this work proposes to study the asset pricing implications of a home production economy. House prices and equity returns can be studied within the context of a general equilibrium framework where the decisions to invest in business and in residential capital, and to supply labor, are endogenously determined. Some key aspects of the dynamics of house prices, the equity premium, and the Dunlop-Tarshis observations can be explained.

Book New Perspectives on Asset Price Bubbles

Download or read book New Perspectives on Asset Price Bubbles written by Douglas D. Evanoff and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-02-08 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume critically re-examines the profession's understanding of asset bubbles in light of the global financial crisis of 2007-09. It is well known that bubbles have occurred in the past, with the October 1929 crash as the most demonstrative example. However, the remarkably well-behaved performance of the US economy from 1945 to 2006, and, in particular during the Great Moderation period of 1984 to 2006, assured the economics profession and monetary policymakers that asset bubbles could be effectively managed with little or no real economic impact. The recent financial crisis has now triggered a debate about the emergence of a sequence of repeated bubbles in the Nasdaq market, housing market, credit market, and commodity markets. The realities of the crisis have intensified theoretical modeling, empirical methodologies, and debate on policy issues surrounding asset price bubbles and their potentially adverse economic impact if poorly managed. Taking a novel approach, the editors of this book present five classic papers that represent accepted thinking about asset bubbles prior to the financial crisis. They also include original papers challenging orthodox thinking and presenting new insights. A summary essay highlights the lessons learned and experiences gained since the crisis.
