We investigate the conditional interest rate risk premium in Treasury bill futures returns. A one-factor model predicts that the premium depends on the conditional variance. An Intertemporal CAPM based two-factor model predicts that it also depends on conditional covariance with the equity premium. Univariate and bivariate Integrated GARCH-in-Mean models suggest that the premium relates positiv...

This study estimates the value of the early exercise premium in American put option prices using Swedish equity options data. The value of the premium is found as the deviation of the American put price from European put-call parity, and in addition a theoretical estimate of the premium is computed. The empirically found premium is also used in a modified version of the control variate approach...

Fama and French [2002. The equity premium. Journal of Finance 57, 637–659] estimate the equity premium using dividend growth rates to measure expected rates of capital gain. We apply their method to study the value premium. From 1945 to 2005, the expected value premium is on average 6.1% per annum, consisting of an expected dividend growth component of 4.4% and an expected dividend price ratio ...

A premium principle is an economic decison rule used by the insurer in order to determine the amount of the net premium for each risk in his portfolio. In this paper we investigate the problem of determining the premium principle to be used. First, we discuss some desirable properties of a premium principle. We prove that the only premium principles that possess these properties belong to a cla...
