higher alpha measured using the four-factor model. The nonparametric monotonicity relation test indicates that the differences in the total return of the equal-weighted portfolio and the value- and price-weighted portfolios is monotonically related to size, price, liquidity and idiosyncratic volatility. The higher systematic return of the equal-weighted portfolio arises from its higher exposure to the market, size, and value factors. The higher alpha of the equal-weighted portfolio arises from the

For thousands of years, people have dreamt about flying. Many have tried, but it wasn't until the days of the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk that Man was able to take flight. For the past hundred years, airplanes have been made safer and easier to use, although the events of 9/11 have recently made the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) a tad more suspicious. We are at a point now where human flight is open to just about everyone, even the likes of flyboys Tom Cruise and John Travolta. Accordingly

MARKET RESEARCH 1. Discuss the importance of attitude measurement, and describe tow different approaches to measuring people's attitudes toward a given object. There is a growing need among today's marketers to better understand their customer's attitudes and feelings toward the company's products, services, and delivery systems. Some researchers view "attitude" as a derived composite outcome of the interaction between a person's beliefs (i.e., cognitive thoughts) and expressed emotions (i

manage their leverage profile. Moreover, they have become the primary tool of money management and monetary control of several central banks, including the Bundesbank and the newly born European Central Bank. This paper is an empirical study of this market. More specifically, we study the extent to which the current term structure of long term ‘‘special’’ repo spreads discount the future collateral value (specialness) of Treasuries. We ask whether repo spreads embed a liquidity risk premium and whether

and hopefully remedy the situation. Customer Demand Based on initial management analyses, customer demand for this new product is expected to be random, but the average demand will be level over the product’s 268-day lifetime. Pre-production market research suggested that the average daily demand level would be somewhere between 10 orders/day and 14 orders/day. Closer to Day 50, shop floor space constraints are limiting the number of jobs being accepted into the factory. Management is concerned

Asymmetric Shocks, Long-term Bonds and Sovereign Default1 Junjun Zhu, Shiyu Xie School of Economics, Fudan University January 2011 Abstract: We present a sovereign default model with asymmetric shocks and long-term bonds, and solve the model using discrete state dynamic programming. As result, our model matches the Argentinean economy over period 1993Q1-2001Q4 quite well. We show that our model can match high default frequency, high debt/output ratio and other cyclical features, such as countercyclical
