We use recently proposed tests to extract jumps and cojumps from three types of assets: stock index futures, bond futures, and exchange rates.

Nonfarm payroll and federal funds ...

Taxation of CEO incomes affects the equilibrium pricing of CEO effective labor and, hence, spills over and affects firm profits. Absent the ability to tax profits or a direct concern for firm owners, a standard presc...
