Book excerpt: Christian Funke aims at developing a better understanding of a central asset pricing issue: the stock price discovery process in capital markets. Using U.S. capital market data, he investigates the importance of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) for stock prices and examines economic links between customer and supplier firms. The empirical investigations document return predictability and show that capital markets are not perfectly efficient.

Book excerpt: "This thesis consists of three essays in empirical asset pricing. In the first essay, I study momentum crashes in emerging equity markets. In particular, I investigate that the momentum crashes are related to volatility, unconditional of the market state. I use emerging stock markets as a laboratory because of their high volatility in both bear and bull markets. My main finding is that momentum crashes are not limited to bear markets, and in fact, one third are experienced in bull markets. These crashes do not fit into the optionality model of Daniel and Moskowitz (2016). Instead, I provide evidence that momentum crashes are linked to the market volatility. In volatile states, the optionality payoff of momentum increases and momentum skewness decreases. Furthermore, I show that the poor performance of momentum in EMs is due to the high volatility in these markets. In the second essay, I investigate whether excessive shortselling is the primary cause for momentum crashes. My hypothesis is that the excessive shortselling of the loser stocks pushes their price below their fundamental values. When the market rebounds, the reversal in the price of the losers leads to momentum crash. I collect the data on shortselling policies across countries, and test whether momentum crashes less in markets with shortselling ban, controlling for the market state and volatility. My results show that the crashes are less severe in markets with shortselling ban, suggesting that shortselling partially explains momentum crashes.In the third essay, I study the mutual fund industry in 77 countries and examine how the fund styles are developed on the aggregate level. I apply textual analysis to the fund names in order to classify funds. I find that the 20 most frequently used words appear in over 50% of all fund names and I define 10 categories (“styles”) based on those (and related) words. These 10 categories are sufficient to classify over 85% of all funds. I find that the menu of funds are remarkably universal. My main result shows how the menu of funds offered to investors in those 77 countries converges over time to a common (“global”) menu of funds. I trace this surprisingly simple and uniform process of global menu convergence to the actions of individual fund families who follow similar growth paths. My results shed new light on the aggregate process of financial innovation and the industrial organization of the asset management industry that appears to produce the same “wholesale” menu around the world"--

This book was released on 2021-08-20 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this Open-Access-book three essays on empirical asset pricing in international equity markets are presented. Despite being of fundamental economic and scientific importance, international financial markets have remained considerably underresearched until today. In the first essay, the role of firm-specific characteristics is analyzed for the momentum effect to exist in international equity markets. The second essay investigates the validity, persistence, and robustness of the newly discovered capital share growth factor across international equity markets as proposed by Lettau et al. (2019) for the U.S. market. Lastly, the third and final essay studies stock market reactions of European vendor banks to distressed loan sale announcements.

Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of three chapters. Chapter 1 shows that, for active mutual funds, historical in-sample alpha is a poor predictor of out-of-sample alpha. However, by focusing on a subset of skilled managers who are able to generate positive alpha via profitable bets on firm specific risks (stock-picking), I show that a new first-order stochastic dominance (FSD) condition can be employed as an additional search criterion to identify such skilled stock-pickers. I implement an FSD filter to select funds by bootstrapping the return distribution in a given period associated with a random stock-picking strategy that has a given factor exposure and degree of diversification. Simulations show that the identification of funds as skilled by the FSD filter performs well in finite samples, in the face of heteroscedasticity and benchmark mis-specification. With the new FSD filter, I identify a group of active funds that are able to outperform the Carhart benchmark by 2.04% (t=2.78) per year before fees (0.78% (t=1.07) per year after fees) out of sample. Moreover, in this sample of funds, in-sample alpha is significantly predictive of out-of-sample alpha: the top quintile of stock-picking mutual funds deliver an out-of-sample alpha of 3.55% (t=3.24) per year before fees (2.24% (t=2.05) per year after fees). These outperforming funds tend to be more aggressive stock-pickers (hold more concentrated portfolios), charge higher fees, and attract more fund flows. By exploring mutual fund managers' Herding tendency and Trading Intensity, Chapter 2 develops a systematic approach to identify mutual fund managers with the Warren Buffett style, i.e. managers who are fundamental, long-term, value investors. Using data during 1995-2015, I further show that the group of such managers outperformed the Carhart four-factor benchmark by 3.06% (t = 3.58) per year before fees (1.94% (t = 2.35) per year after fees). Moreover, these managers have both statistically and economically high exposures to AQR's Quality Minus Junk (QMJ) factor. Last but not least, I show that their before-fees performances can be almost perfectly replicated by an investor who implements the strategy of investing in the lagged portfolio holdings of these managers when they become publicly available. Chapter 3 proposes a methodology to recover countries' stochastic discount factors (SDFs) from exchange rates under three assumptions: 1) the Euler equation holds internationally; 2) there is a factor structure among exchange rates; 3) there does not exist a special global risk factor which has identical influence on all countries. By designing an empirical test using exchange rates and equity returns of 28 countries from 1988 to August of 2014, I show that the moment conditions are rejected in the data. The failure of the exchange-rate-recovered SDFs to price countries' assets reflects the violation of my assumptions, and highlights the importance of the special global risk factor to price assets in different countries.

Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of two chapters, all of which attempt to shed some light on what constitutes the time-varying risk premia in financial markets. The first chapter demonstrates that monetary policy shocks identified from New-Keynesian dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models explain the risk premia in stock markets. Indeed, the implied ICAPMs explain the value and the industry premia for the periods of 1980 to 2004. In particular, the permanent monetary policy shocks to inflation target capture the value premium and part of industry risk premium once I account for the capital market imperfection endogenously in New-Keynesian models. The shocks to investment technology, as a main determinant of the external finance premium, are also important for understanding the value premium.
