Empirical tests of the arbitrage pricing theory using measured variables rely on the accuracy of standard inferential theory in approximating the distribution of the estimated risk premiums and… (More)
Abstract: The article proposes a computationally efficient procedure for bias adjustment in the iterated bootstrap. The new technique replaces the need for successive levels of bootstrap resampling… (More)
PRELIMINARY AND INCOMPLETE In this paper we use a probabilistic approach to risk factor selection in the arbitrage pricing theory model. The methodology uses a bayesian framework to select the… (More)
We propose a computationally efficient approximation for the double bootstrap bias adjustment factor without using the inner bootstrap loop. The approximation converges in probability to the… (More)
This paper provides a Bayesian analysis of the historical risk premium in the US monthly portfolios returns. The study investigates the importance of non-traded economic risks in the pricing of… (More)
This paper assesses the finite sample refinements of the block bootstrap and the Non-Parametric Bootstrap for conditional moment models. The study recononsiders inference in the generalized method of… (More)
We study the out-of-sample forecast performance of two alternative methods for dealing with dimensionality: Bayesian model Averaging (BMA) and principal components regression (PCR). We conduct a… (More)
