Skewness And Kurtosis

We explore the cross-section of realized variance, skewness, and kurtosis for stock returns obtained from intraday data. We investigate the properties of the realized higher moments, and more importantly, examine relations between the realized moments and subsequent stock returns. We find evidence of a negative relation between realized skewness and next week’s returns. A strategy buying stocks in the lowest realized skewness quintile and selling stocks in the highest realized skewness quintile earns 0.79 percent per week a risk-adjusted basis. Our results on the realized skewness are robust to controls for various firm characteristics such as size and book-to-market. Little evidence exists that either the realized volatility or the realized kurtosis is significantly related to next week’s returns.

Skewness And Kurtosis

In this paper, we examine whether the risk neutral skewness and kurtosis from S&P 500 options have information for predicting the higher moments of the stock returns called skewness and kurtosis, which contain the important information for forecasting potential crash, spike upward and the fluctuations of stock index. We find that the implied risk neutral skewness and kurtosis does not provide the information contents for predicting the higher moments of S&P 500 index return, after eliminating the overlapping data. All the results are robust to the alternative measures of risk neutral moments from options prices, the sub-periods and forecasting periods.

Human rights and fundamental freedoms such as economic, political, and press freedoms vary widely from country to country. It creates opportunity and risk in investment decisions. Thus, this study is carried out to examine if the explanatory power of the model for capital asset pricing could be improved when these human rights movement indices are included in the model. The sample for this study comprises of 495 stocks listed in Bursa Malaysia, covering the sampling period from 2003 to 2013. The model applied in this study employed the pooled ordinary least square regression estimation. In addition, the robustness of the model is tested by using firm size as a controlled variable. The findings show that market beta as well as the economic and press freedom indices could explain the cross-sectional stock returns of the Malaysian stock market. By controlling the firm size, it adds marginally to the explanation of the extended CAP model which incorporated economic, political, and press freedom indices.
