In this paper we relate individual risk attitude as elicited by binary lotteriesand certainty equivalents to market behavior. By analyzing 26 independentmarkets with a total of 280 participants we show that binary lottery choicesand certainty equivalents are poorly correlated. Only lottery...

This paper investigates (i) the robustness of hindsight bias in experimental assetmarkets, (ii) the time invariance of the different experimental risk elicitationmethods of certainty equivalents and binary lottery choices, and (iii) their correspondence.The results of our within-subjects...

This paper provides survey evidence on the influence of training on behavioral financeon professional fund managers’ perception and investment behavior. In particular, it examineswhether “trained” fund managers differ from the “untrained” ones in their perceptionof markets and...

This paper provides evidence on the hypothesis that many behavioral finance patterns are sodeeply rooted in human behavior that they are difficult to overcome by learning. We test thison a target group which has undoubtedly very strong incentives to learn efficient behavior,i.e. fund managers....

Deutschland ist eines der wenigen Länder mit einer ausgeprägten Regionalbörsenstruktur.Diese Regionalbörsen stehen im Qualitäts- und Preiswettbewerb insbesondereum den Privatanleger zu einander sowie zum vollelektronischen XETRAHandelssystem.Ein wesentlicher Einflussfaktor bei der...

We propose a new dynamic model for volatility and dependence in high dimensions, that allows for departuresfrom the normal distribution, both in the marginals and in the dependence. The dependence is modeled with adynamic canonical vine copula, which can be decomposed into a cascade of bivariate...

We study a quadratic BSDE in a continuous filtration with an unbounded generatorand an infinite time horizon. This equation comes from a stochasticcontrol problem in the context of robust utility maximisation.[...]

We introduce a framework for analyzing the interplay between credit risk and collateralmarket risk on loan pricing. To do this, we decompose any loan into an unsecured and asecured part. Further we explicitly consider the recovery process. The framework allows usto develop semi-analytical...

In order to capture observed asymmetric dependence in international financial returns, we construct amultivariate regime-switching model of copulas. We model dependence with one Gaussian and onecanonical vine copula regime. Canonical vines are constructed from bivariate conditional copulas...

The long memory characteristic of financial market volatility is well documentedand has important implications for volatility forecasting and optionpricing. When fitted to the same data, different volatility models calculate theunconditional variance differently and could have very different...
