However, we find that BAB fails to remain market neutral in practice, and the deviations from market neutrality often arrive in the shape of crashes. BAB resembles momentum in terms of option-like payoffs, exhibiting significant exposure to large market movements. Particularly, BAB effectuates negative market timing and negative volatility timing amid volatile markets, promoting BAB crashes. The concern of imperfect market neutrality is shared by a broad range of beta arbitrage strategies that are aimed at being market neutral. The strategy’s vulnerability to bull markets is not fundamentally explained by the liquidity and leverage rationale. Managing beta crashes significantly improves investment performance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15704,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Empirical Finance","volume":"80 ","pages":"Article 101577"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143167422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The volatility of intraday returns is assumed to consist of the autoregressive process, the seasonal component of the intraday volatility pattern, and the announcement component responding to macroeconomic announcements. A Bayesian method via Markov chain Monte Carlo is developed for the analysis of the proposed model.

A similar pattern characterizes the variation in the expectations on future interest rates.
