吴轲,姜磊,Guofu Zhou——JOURNAL OF FINANCIAL AND QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS:Asymmetry in Stock Comovements: An Entropy Approach
时间:2018-08-06
We provide an entropy approach for measuring the asymmetric comovement between the return on a single asset and the market return. This approach yields a model-free test for stock return asymmetry, generalizing the correlation-based test proposed by Hong, Tu, and Zhou (2007). Based on this test, we find that asymmetry is much more pervasive than previously thought. Moreover, our approach also provides an entropy-based measure of downside asymmetric comovement. In the cross section of stock retur
