The downside risk CAPM (DR-CAPM) can price the cross section of currency returns. The market-beta differential between high and low interest rate currencies is higher conditional on bad market returns, when the market price of risk is also high, than it is conditional on good market returns.

atomizing of medicine into a series of separate problems, in which, as Jacopo frequently showed, equally opposed positions could be maintained with equal success. His successors faced with this impasse reverted to an ever closer scrutiny of the logical methods involved in reaching these conclusions. Dr Ottoson's conclusion goes far towards explaining the appeal in the sixteenth century of the c...

In this paper we study new algorithmic structures with DouglasRachford (DR) operators to solve convex feasibility problems. We propose to embed the basic two-set-DR algorithmic operator into the String-Averaging Projections (SAP) and into the Block-Iterative Projection (BIP) algorithmic structures, thereby creating new DR algorithmic schemes that include the recently proposed cyclic DouglasRach...
