Estimating Standard Errors in Finance Panel Data Sets: Comparing Approaches

Mitchell A. Petersen · 3 Jun 2008

In both corporate finance and asset pricing empirical work, researchers are often confronted with panel data. In these data sets, the residuals may be correlated across firms and across time, and OLS standard errors can be biased. Historically, the two literatures have used different solutions to this problem. Corporate finance has relied on Rogers standard…

A Closed-Form Solution for Options with Stochastic Volatility with Applications to Bond and Currency Options

Steven L. Heston · 1 Apr 1993

I use a new technique to derive a closed-form solution for the price of a European call option on an asset with stochastic volatility.

Simulations show…

All That Glitters: The Effect of Attention and News on the Buying Behavior of Individual and Institutional Investors

Brad M. Barber, Terrance Odean · 24 Dec 2007

We test and confirm the hypothesis that individual investors are net buyers of attention-grabbing stocks, e.g., stocks in the news, stocks experiencing high abnormal trading volume, and stocks with extreme one-day returns. Attention-driven buying results from the difficulty that investors have searching the thousands of stocks they can potentially buy. Individual investors do not face…

A Comprehensive Look at The Empirical Performance of Equity Premium Prediction

Ivo Welch, Amit Goyal · 17 Mar 2007

Our article comprehensively reexamines the performance of variables that have been suggested by the academic literature to be good predictors of the equity premium. We find that by and large, these models have predicted poorly both in-sample (IS) and out-of-sample (OOS) for 30 years now; these models seem unstable, as diagnosed by their out-of-sample predictions…
