The first essay studies the pricing in the CDS Index (CDX) tranche market, and whether these instruments have been reasonably priced and integrated within the financial market generally, both before and during the financial crisis. We first design a procedure to value CDO tranches using an intensity-based model which falls into the affine model class. The CDX tranche spreads are efficiently explained by a three-factor version of this model, before and during the crisis period. We then construct tradable CDX tranche portfolios, representing the three default intensity factors. These portfolios capture the same exposure as the S&P 500 index optionmarket, to a market crash. We regress these CDX factors against the underlying index, the volatility factor, and the smirk factor, extracted from the index option returns, and against the Fama-French market, size and book-to-market factors. We finally argue that the CDX spreads are integrated in the financial market, and their issuers have not made excess returns. The second essay explores the specifications of jumps for modeling stock price dynamics and cross-sectional option prices. We exploit a long sample of about 16 years of S&P500 returns and option prices for model estimation. We explicitly impose the time-series consistency when jointly fitting the return and option series. We specify a separate jump intensity process which affords a distinct source of uncertainty and persistence level from the volatility process. Our overall conclusion is that simultaneous jumps in return and volatility are helpful in fitting the return, volatility and jump intensity time series, while time-varying jump intensities improve the cross-section fit of the option prices. In the formulation with time-varying jump intensity, both the mean jump size and standard deviation of jump size premia are strengthened. Our MCMC approach to estimate the models is appropriate, because it has been found to be powerful by other authors, and it is suitable for dealing with jumps. To the best of our knowledge, our study provides the the most comprehensive application of the MCMC technique to option pricing in affine jump-diffusion models.

Book excerpt: Essay One: A New Estimate of BetaThis essay examines a new method of estimating systematic risk, or "beta". Due to market imperfection, stock prices, especially those of small firms, do not move with the market index synchronously. Because of nonsynchronous or delayed reaction in price for small firms, the traditional beta estimated from the market model may not be a true reflection of systematic risk. In other words, since stock prices do not fully respond to the market in a single period, the contemporary beta may only reflect the partial systematic risk. As a result, the beta estimated from the market model is underestimated for small firms and overestimated for large firms. The same problem also causes betas estimated from the market model to vary greatly across different estimation horizons. I develop a model of delay/lead price reactions for small/large firms. Based on this model I derive a multiple-period regression equation for the new estimation of beta.^We then estimate the equation for each of the ten size-ranked decile portfolios at different estimation horizons, using monthly, weekly and daily returns. Betas estimated from the optimal estimation horizons for monthly, weekly, and daily returns are discussed. Our results show that, betas estimated at similar horizons, using monthly, weekly, and daily returns, are consistent with each other. Betas estimated for the ten size-decile portfolios from monthly, weekly, and daily average returns are positively related to those returns, respectively. Essay Two: Test of Capital Asset Pricing Model Based on a New Estimate of BetaThis essay tests the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), based on a new estimate of beta. The test methodology follows the classic Fama-MacBeth (1973) approach, using updated data from 1926-2010.^I ran each test on eleven different periods based on three different estimates of beta: the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) beta, the Scholes-Williams (1977) beta, and a new estimate of beta. From three long testing periods, 1935-1968, 1969-2010, and 1935-2010, all three hypotheses are confirmed based on the new estimate of beta. In other words there is a positive trade-off between average return and risk, and non-linearity and non-beta risk do not play a significant role in explaining the cross section of expected return. Test results from the three long periods based on the OLS beta and the Scholes-Williams beta are mixed and less supportive to CAPM. Our test results from the eight shorter periods do not confirm the CAPM. However, this may be due to the lack of power and efficiency of the test methodology when applied to short periods.^Overall, our results from long periods show that tests based on the new estimate of beta perform better than those based on the OLS beta and the Scholes-Williams beta in terms of supporting CAPM.

Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of two chapters. The first chapter shows that the measurement errors in betas for stocks induce corresponding measurement errors in alphas and a spurious negative covariance between the estimated betas and alphas across stocks. This negative covariance between the estimated betas and alphas results in a violation of the independence assumption between the independent variable (betas) and error terms in the Fama-MacBeth regressions of tests of the CAPM, thereby creating a downward bias in the estimated market risk premiums. The procedure of using portfolio returns and betas does not necessarily eliminate this bias. Depending upon the grouping variable used to form portfolios, the negative covariance between estimated betas and alphas can be increased, decreased, and can even be made positive. This paper proposes two methods for correcting the downward bias in the estimated market risk premium. The estimated market risk premiums are consistent with the CAPM after the proposed corrections.

Book excerpt: This dissertation investigates the impact of mutual funds in the cross-sectional stock returns and examines a conflict in the existing literature that characterizes momentum. In the first essay, I examine the explanatory power of aggregate mutual fund flows for the profitability of price-based (i.e., momentum and 52-week high) and non-price-based (i.e., earnings surprises, profitability, share issuance, accrual and asset growth) anomalies in the cross-section of returns. I find that the flow-based trading of mutual funds contributes to mispricing as measured by the profits to price-based anomalies, especially at times when market-wide funding costs are high. The effect also exists for non-price-based anomalies, but only through the dependence of their profits on momentum. My findings support the view of Lou (2012) and Vayanos and Woolley (2013) that mutual funds’ trading on flows creates feedback that strengthens price-based anomalies, as high-performing funds buy additional shares of high-performing stocks and poorly performing funds sell shares of poorly performing stocks. However, the explanatory power of aggregate mutual fund flows for price-based anomaly returns is only partly attenuated by fund-level variables designed to capture the feedback effect. The flow-induced trading by mutual funds appears to contribute to mispricing for reasons beyond the feedback effect. The second essay examines the extent to which momentum profits depend on the state of credit markets. The state of credit markets does affect momentum, but the results are not consistent with a credit channel effect on momentum. For non-financial firms, the momentum profits are stronger among portfolios formed under favorable credit conditions. For financial firms, credit conditions do not matter to the momentum profits. Price continuations in financial firms are related to whether the firms are performing poorly, but not whether that performance is attributable to credit conditions that are favorable or poor.
