Conditional Skewness in Asset Pricing Tests
If asset returns have systematic skewness, expected returns should include rewards for accepting this risk. We formalize this intuition with an asset pricing model that incorporates conditional skewness. Our results show that conditional skewness helps explain the cross-sectional variation of expected returns across assets and is significant even when factors based on size and book-to-market ar...
متن کاملSkewness and kurtosis as locally best invariant tests of normality
Consider testing normality against a one-parameter family of univariate distributions containing the normal distribution as the boundary, e.g., the family of t-distributions or an infinitely divisible family with finite variance. We prove that under mild regularity conditions, the sample skewness is the locally best invariant (LBI) test of normality against a wide class of asymmetric families a...
متن کاملAdjusting the tests for skewness and kurtosis for distributional misspecifications
The standard root−b1 test is widely used for testing skewness. However, several studies have demonstrated that this test is not reliable for discriminating between symmetric and asymmetric distributions in the presence of excess kurtosis. The main reason for the failure of the standard root−b1 test is that its variance formula is derived under the assumption of no excess kurtosis. In this paper...
متن کاملSkewness-kurtosis adjusted confidence estimators and significance tests
Correspondence: [email protected] Institute of Mathematics, University of Rostock, Ulmenstraße 69, Haus 3, 18057 Rostock, Germany Abstract First and second kind modifications of usual confidence intervals for estimating the expectation and of usual local alternative parameter choices are introduced in a way such that the asymptotic behavior of the true non-covering probabilitie...
متن کاملSkewness in Hedge Funds Returns: Classical Skewness Coefficients vs. Azzalini’s Skewness Parameter
Recent literature discusses the persistence of skewness and tail risk in hedge fund returns. The aim of this paper is to suggest an alternative skewness measure which is derived as the normalized shape parameter from the skew-normal distribution. First, we illustrate that the skew-normal distribution is better able to catch the characteristics of hedge fund returns than the normal distributio...
