Abstract
The generalized capital asset pricing model based on mixed conditional valueat-risk (CVaR) deviation is used for calibrating the risk preferences of investors. Risk preferences are determined by coefficients in the mixed CVaR deviation. The corresponding new generalized beta is designed to capture the tail performance of S&P 500 returns. Calibration of the coefficients is done by extracting information about risk preferences from put-option prices on the S&P 500. Actual market option prices are matched with the estimated prices from the pricing equation based on the generalized beta. Calibration is done for 153 moments in time with intervals of approximately one month. Results demonstrate that the risk preferences of investors change over time, reflecting investors’ concern about potential tail losses. A new index of fear is introduced, calculated as a sum of several coefficients in the mixed CVaR deviation.
期刊介绍:
This international peer-reviewed journal publishes a broad range of original research papers which aim to further develop understanding of financial risk management. As the only publication devoted exclusively to theoretical and empirical studies in financial risk management, The Journal of Risk promotes far-reaching research on the latest innovations in this field, with particular focus on the measurement, management and analysis of financial risk. The Journal of Risk is particularly interested in papers on the following topics: Risk management regulations and their implications, Risk capital allocation and risk budgeting, Efficient evaluation of risk measures under increasingly complex and realistic model assumptions, Impact of risk measurement on portfolio allocation, Theoretical development of alternative risk measures, Hedging (linear and non-linear) under alternative risk measures, Financial market model risk, Estimation of volatility and unanticipated jumps, Capital allocation.
