Mardi | 2009-10-13 Rémi BAZILLIER – Yasser Moullan – Thierry BAUDASSE We study in this paper the interactions between migration rates and the level of labourstandards. We use an augmented version of the Grogger and Hanson (2008) model, addingthe level of working conditions into the specification. Our hypothesis is that the differentialof working conditions may be a complementary determinant of migration. In a first time, wetest the influence of labour standards in countries of origin using a database on emigrationrates […]

Mardi | 2009-05-19 Ramzi BEN-ABDALLAH – Hatem BEN-AMEUR – libre The aim of this paper is to investigate the pricing of the Chicago Board ofTrade Treasury-Bond futures. The difficulty to price it arises from its multipleinter-dependent embedded delivery options, which can be exercised at varioustimes and dates during the delivery month. We consider a general Markov diffusionprocess model for stochastic interest rates and propose a pricing algorithmthat can handle all the delivery rules embedded in the CBOT T-bond futures.Our procedure […]

In order to obtain a broader view of the researchproblem, we decided […]

Mardi | 2009-05-05 Patrick KOUONTCHOU – Bertrand MAILLET – Sessi TOKPAVI In this paper we present and extend the approach of Bollerslev and Zhang (2003)for “realized” measures and co-measures of risk in some classical asset pricingmodels, such as the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) of Sharpe (1964) andthe Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT) model by Ross (1976). These extensionsinclude higher-moments asset pricing models (see Jurczenko and Maillet, 2006),conditional asset pricing models (see Bollerslev et al., 1988, and Jondeau andRockinger, 2004). Estimations […]

Mardi | 2009-04-14 B103 Marie-Aude LAGUNA – Audrey LAUDE Using the event-study methodology and multivariate regressions, this paper examinesthe intensity of media coverage, its determinants and its marginal effect on stock returnsfollowing chemical disasters. To do this, we build an original dataset of chemical explosionsthat occurred worldwide from 1990-2005. First, our results show that news coverage increaseswith the social and environmental consequences of the accident. Second, to deal with the factthat news coverage is determined simultaneously with stock returns, we […]
