The Market Price of Credit Risk and Economic States
2015
This paper proposes a market-wide credit risk factor for the US stock market and investigates its properties that are dependent on economic conditions. The market price of credit risk is found to be statistically significantly negative, supporting earlier studies. However, a sample-split analysis reveals that this negative pay-off is non-existent in a later subsample, indicating that the credit risk puzzle is based on temporary mispricing related to the earlier subsample. Further investigation shows that mispricing in the earlier period was mainly driven by positive pay-offs of low credit risk firms, while high credit risk firms did not generate significant returns in any of the sub-periods.
L'identità della scienza giuridica penale nell'ordinamento multilivello
2014
Lo scenario generale dell’attuale ordinamento multilivello pone importanti inter- rogativi alla scienza penale: dai rapporti fra fonti nazionali e sopranazionali alla interazione fra corti diverse, ma che concorrono nella tutela dei diritti fondamen- tali. Nella dinamica nuova dei rapporti tanto fra fonti normative, quanto fra autorità giudicanti non valgono più le tradizionali logiche deduttive di prevalenza gerarchica, ma si affermano nuove forme di influenza reciproca e di interazione. Lo studio, dopo aver chiarito preliminarmente significato e contesti del rapporto fra scienza penale e ordinamento multilivello, intende contribuire alla riflessione in argomento considerando tre settori p…

Next-Day Bitcoin Price Forecast
2019
This study analyzes forecasts of Bitcoin price using the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and neural network autoregression (NNAR) models. Employing the static forecast approach, we forecast next-day Bitcoin price both with and without re-estimation of the forecast model for each step. For cross-validation of forecast results, we consider two different training and test samples. In the first training-sample, NNAR performs better than ARIMA, while ARIMA outperforms NNAR in the second training-sample. Additionally, ARIMA with model re-estimation at each step outperforms NNAR in the two test-sample forecast periods. The Diebold Mariano test confirms the superiority of forecast …
When the Blockchain Does Not Block: On Hackings and Uncertainty in the Cryptocurrency Market
2019
A total of 1.1 million bitcoin were stolen in the 2013–2017 period. Noting that the average price for Bitcoin in 2018 was USD 7,572 the corresponding monetary equivalent of losses is USD 8.9 billion which strongly shows the societal impact of this criminal activity. Investigating the response of the uncertainty of Bitcoin when hacking incidents occur, the results of this study point toward a delayed response in volatility. The volatility increases significantly only at day t+5. Incidents of hacking that occur in the Bitcoin market affect uncertainty for another cryptocurrency Ethereum too. Again, the evidence suggests a delayed response. However, Bitcoin and Ethereum do not exhibit asymmetr…
