Variance Risk Premium Dynamics: The Role of Jumps∗

Using high-frequency stock market data and (synthetic) variance swap rates, this paper identifies and investigates the temporal variation in the market variance risk premium. The variance risk is manifest in two salient features of financial returns: stochastic volatility and jumps. The pricing of these two separate components is analyzed in a general semiparametric framework. The key empirical...

A non-linear dynamic model of the variance risk premium

We propose a new class of non-linear diffusion processes for modeling financial markets data. Our nonlinear diffusions are obtained as transformations of affine processes. We show that asset-pricing and estimation is possible and likelihood estimation is straightforward. We estimate a non-linear diffusion model for the VIX index under both the objective measure and the risk-neutral measure wher...

Uncertainty, Risk Premium, and Productivity in the Taiwan Banking Industry

In this paper, we formulate a behavioral model under uncertainty to estimate the total factor productivity in the Taiwan banking industry. In particular, the paper provides a model based on the safety-first rule under uncertainty to measure the risk premium in banking operations that are subject to loan default and other investment risks. Using panel data of forty banks in 1981-1996, a translog...

Decreasing relative risk premium

We consider the risk premium π demanded by a decision maker with present wealth x in order to be indifferent between obtaining a new level of wealth y1 with certainty, or to participate in a lottery which either results in unchanged wealth x or a level of wealth y2 > y1. We then define the relative risk premium λ as the quotient between π and the increase in wealth y1−x which the decision maker...

Inflation Risk and the Inflation Risk Premium*

This article starts by discussing the concept of “inflation hedging” and provides some estimates of “inflation betas” for standard bond and well-diversified equity indices for over 45 countries. We show that such standard securities are poor inflation hedges. Expanding the menu of assets to foreign bonds, real estate and gold only improves matters marginally. This indicates a potentially import...
