Risk Measures Based on First Four Moments and Resulting Trading Strategies

主讲人 O-Chia Chuang 简介 <p>&nbsp;</p> <div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 23.7999992370605px;">Abstract:</div> <div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 23.7999992370605px;">In this paper we propose a method to calculate the risk measures proposed by Aumann</div> <div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 23.7999992370605px;">and Serrano (2008) and Huang, Tzeng, and Wang (2012), where the former is related to</div> <div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 23.7999992370605px;">stochastic dominance, and the latter hinges on central dominance. This method enables us&nbsp;to utilize the information about mean, variance, skewness, and kurtosis of a distribution. We&nbsp;demonstrate the risk measure of Huang et al. (2012) provides sufficient information for the&nbsp;investment decision of all constant absolute risk averse investors in the traditional portfolio&nbsp;selection model. A trading strategy is then constructed with respect to this measure. Our&nbsp;empirical results show that this trading strategy outperforms buy-and-hold trading strategy&nbsp;during sample period from January 2001 to October 2009, and conclude that information&nbsp;of higher order moments are valuable for invest decisions.</div> <div>&nbsp;</div>
