Both relative valuation and discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation are valuable tools, but they often yield different results. Understanding the reasons for these differences and how to reconcile them is crucial for arriving at a well-informed valuation conclus...

A Comparison As discussed before, asset returns can be calculated in two primary ways: discrete (simple) returns and continuously compounded (logarithmic) returns. While both aim to measure the percentage change in an asset's value, they differ in their calcul...

A Foundation of Financial Econometrics Asset returns are fundamental to financial econometrics, representing the percentage change in the value of an asset over a period. They are the primary inputs for many financial models and analyses, used to assess perfor...

Discrete vs. Continuously Compounded Returns Here are a few problems illustrating the concepts of discrete and continuously compounded returns. Problem 1: Basic Calculation A stock's price changes from $50 to $52 in one day. (a) Calculate the discrete return. ...

Financial returns exhibit several stylized facts, or empirical properties, that distinguish them from data generated by simple statistical models. Understanding these properties is crucial for selecting appropriate econometric models. These facts relate to th...

A time series is a sequence of data points, measured typically at successive points in time or over successive periods. Examples include daily stock prices, monthly inflation rates, and annual GDP growth. A univariate time series involves only one variable ob...

These models are fundamental building blocks in time series analysis. They describe the evolution of a time series based on its past values (AR), past error terms (MA), or a combination of both (ARMA). 1. Autoregressive (AR) Processes Definition: An AR proc...

Analyzing and Modeling a Stock's Daily Returns Suppose you have a time series of daily continuously compounded returns for a particular stock over the past year (252 trading days). You want to analyze this series to understand its properties and potentially bu...
