Microstructural biases in empirical tests of option pricing models
This paper examines how noise in observed option prices arising from discrete prices and other microstructural frictions affects empirical tests of option pricing models and risk-neutral density estimation. The discrete tick size alone introduces enough noise to make model comparisons difficult, especially for lower-priced stocks. We demonstrate that microstructural noise can lead to incorrect ...
متن کاملPricing Default Swaps: Empirical Evidence
In this paper we compare market prices of credit default swaps with model prices. We show that a simple reduced form model outperforms directly comparing bonds’ credit spreads to default swap premiums. We find that the model yields unbiased premium estimates for default swaps on investment grade issuers, but only if we use swap or repo rates as proxy for default-free interest rates. This indica...
متن کاملMarket forces meet behavioral biases: cost misallocation and irrational pricing
Psychological and experimental evidence, as well as a wealth of anecdotal examples, suggests that firms may confound fixed, sunk, and variable costs, leading to distorted pricing decisions. This article investigates the extent to which market forces and learning eventually eliminate these distortions. We envision firms that experiment with cost methodologies that are consistent with real-world ...
متن کاملIs the IPO Pricing Process Efficient?
This paper investigates underwriters’ treatment of public information throughout the IPO pricing process. Two key findings emerge. First, public information is not fully incorporated into the initial price range. While the economic magnitude of the bias is small, it is puzzling because it is not clear who benefits from it. Further, it indicates that the filing range midpoint is not an unbiased ...
متن کاملDo Underwriters Compete in IPO Pricing?
We propose and implement, for the first time, a direct test of the hypothesis of oligopolistic competition in the U.S. underwriting market against the alternative of implicit collusion in IPO price setting. We construct two models of an IPO underwriting market: in the first one IPO underwriters set their fees competitively, while in the second one they coordinate (collude) in setting fees. The ...
