چکیده
Many empirical studies document the value effect. One explanation is that investors overreact to growth aspects for growth stocks. We apply Stein's (1989) method to investigate whether the degree of overreaction differs between value and growth stocks using the implied volatility from option prices. A finding of overreaction for either value stocks or growth stocks would lend support to overreaction as an explanation for the value effect. Empirical results here indicate a stronger degree of overreaction for growth

Expected future volatility plays a central role in finance theory. Consequently, accurate estimation of this parameter is crucial to meaningful financial decision-making. Researchers generally on the past behavior of asset prices to estimate volatility, relating movements in volatility value with prior volatility and/or variables in the investors' information set.

متن کاملLiquidity Effects and Volatility Smiles in Interest Rate Option Markets
We investigate the interaction of volatility smiles and liquidity in the euro (€) interest rate option markets, using an extensive data-set on daily bid and ask prices of interest rate caps and floors. We find that, in this market, the implied volatility smiles are asymmetric, and are steeper on the ask-side. Liquidity variables have significant explanatory power for both curvature and asymmetr...
متن کاملRisk measurement and Implied volatility under Minimal Entropy Martingale Measure for Levy process
This paper focuses on two main issues that are based on two important concepts: exponential Levy process and minimal entropy martingale measure. First, we intend to obtain risk measurement such as value-at-risk (VaR) and conditional value-at-risk (CvaR) using Monte-Carlo methodunder minimal entropy martingale measure (MEMM) for exponential Levy process. This Martingale measure is used for the...
متن کاملImplied Volatility from Options on Gold Futures: Do Econometric Forecasts Add Value or Simply Paint the Lilly?
Consistent with findings in other markets, implied volatility is a biased predictor of the realized volatility of gold futures. No existing explanation—including a price of volatility risk— can completely explain the bias, but much of this apparent bias can be explained by persistence and estimation error in implied volatility. Statistical criteria reject the hypothesis that implied volatility ...
متن کاملForward and Future Implied Volatility
We address the problem of defining and calculating forward volatility implied by option prices when the underlying asset is driven by a stochastic volatility process. We examine alternative notions of forward implied volatility and the information required to extract these measures from the prices of European options at fixed maturities. We then specialize to the SABR model and show how the asy...
