The Negative Growth-Volatility Relationship and the Gains from Diversification∗
We document a negative relationship between average growth and average volatility in a cross-section of countries. We then provide an interpretation of this result using a robustness (RB) version of the Obstfeld (1994) model of financial diversification and openness. Incorporating a preference for robustness can generate the observed negative relationship between growth and volatility of real G...
متن کاملRecovering Probability Distributions from Contemporaneous Security Prices
Probability distributions of stock market returns have typically been estimated from historical time series. The possibility of extreme events such as the stock market crash of 1987 makes this a perilous enterprise. Alternative parametric and nonparametric approaches use contemporaneously observed option prices to recover their underlying risk-neutral probability distribution. Parametric method...

Keith Sill is a senior economist in the Research Department of the Philadelphia Fed. Our economy has become increasingly global. We import and export more than ever before. Yet, three facts about international financial transactions, when taken together, pose a puzzle. First, financial capital moves freely across country borders, at least in the case of the developed countries. Returns on simil...
متن کاملGains from diversification on convex combinations: A majorization and stochastic dominance approach
By incorporating both majorization theory and stochastic dominance theory, this paper presents a general theory and a unifying framework for determining the diversification preferences of risk-averse investors and conditions under which they would unanimously judge a particular asset to be superior. In particular, we develop a theory for comparing the preferences of different convex combination...
متن کاملCommunication networks with endogenous link strength and the possibility of gains from diversification
We study communication networks where the strength of the direct link between any pair of agents is a concave function of their investments towards each other. We show that the symmetric complete network can be Nash stable and dominate the star architecture in terms of total utility.
