Call Function

We propose a new nonparametric technique to estimate the call function based on the superhedging principle. This approach requires minimal assumptions on absence of arbitrage and other market imperfections. The estimates so obtained are then combined with SNP estimates of the actual density of market returns. This permits to investigate the time behavior of the relative distance between the two densities obtained. Our empirical findings suggest that the more the two densities differ, the shorter is time to maturity, suggesting a major role of uncertainty over shorter than longer horizons.

We study how investor sentiment affects stock prices around the world. Relying on households’ Google search behavior, we construct a weekly measure of sentiment for 38 countries during 2004–2014. We validate the sentiment index in tests using sports outcomes and show that the sentiment measure is a contrarian predictor of country-level market returns. Furthermore, we document an important role of global sentiment in stock markets.

Rule Out

This symposium provides several examples of overconfidence in certain economic contexts. Michael Grubb looks at “Overconfident Consumers in the Marketplace.” Ulrike Malmendier and Geoffrey Tate consider “Behavioral CEOs: The Role of Managerial Overconfidence.” Kent Daniel and David Hirshleifer discuss “Overconfident Investors, Predictable Returns, and Excessive Trading.” A number of insights and lessons emerge for our understanding of markets, public policy, and welfare. How do firms take advantage of consumer overconfidence? Might government attempts to rule out such practices end up providing benefits to some consumers but imposing costs on others? How are empirical measures of CEO overconfidence related to investment and the capital structure of firms? Can overconfidence among at least some investors help to explain prominent anomalies in stock markets like high levels of trading volume and certain predictable patterns in stock market returns?

Corporate Social

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become a strategic decision for organizations. The capacity to invest in several distinct CSR categories at varying levels (e.g., environmental innovation, diversity, community) leaves firms with a multitude of patterns from which to choose. However, the question of whether market returns to CSR are defined by individual-level positioning choices or by industry-level conditions––particularly the materiality of distinct categories of CSR––remains unresolved. Drawing on the literature arguing that stakeholders are crucial enablers of value creation and capture, we theorize that unique CSR strategies more effectively promote stakeholder engagement by helping firms develop differentiated and unrivaled positions with key stakeholders. Thus, we argue that CSR uniqueness is positively associated with market value. Yet we also argue that uniqueness can be constrained by materiality: in industries in which a higher number of CSR categories are considered material, firms have fewer degrees of freedom to successfully differentiate from competitors; hence, the market returns to unique CSR positioning are negatively associated with the number of CSR categories deemed material to the industry. Using a novel measure of uniqueness of CSR strategies and a database containing environmental, social, and financial information of 2,093 firms between 2002 and 2017, we find strong support for our hypotheses. To shed further light on the mechanisms driving the role of materiality, we examine the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

Vocational education and training (VET) is theorized to play a dual role for inequality of labor market outcomes: the role of a safety net and the role of socioeconomic diversion. In this paper, we test these hypotheses by examining the long-term labor market returns to track choice in upper secondary education in Denmark using an instrumental variable approach that relies on random variation in school peers’ educational decisions. We report two main findings. First, VET diverts students on the margin to the academic track away from higher-status but not higher-paying occupations. Second, VET protects students on the margin to leaving school from risks of non-employment and unskilled work, also leading to higher earnings. These results suggest that in countries with a highly compressed wage structure, a strong VET system benefits students unlikely to continue to college, while causing few adverse consequences for students on the margin to choosing academic education.
