Return Periods and Return Levels Under Climate Change

2012
We investigate the notions of return period and return level for a nonstationary climate. We discuss two general methods for communicating risk. The first eschews the term return period and instead communicates yearly risk in terms of a probability of exceedance. The second extends the notion of return period to the non-stationary setting.

Modeling Office Returns at the Regional Level

The Journal of Portfolio Management, 2000
Investors have two problems using the National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries (NCREIF) data to make decisions. The first is that every day they are making bets based on what will happen, not what has already happened. Although the future of real estate is influenced by its past, performance in the future will not be the same.

A perceptual level mechanism of the inhibition of return in oculomotor planning

Cognitive Brain Research, 2002
A motor response to a visual target presented at a precued spatial location is facilitated if the target is presented shortly after the cue and inhibited when the cue target onset asynchrony approaches a few hundred milliseconds. The latter effect is termed inhibition of return (IOR).

Semivariance decomposition of country-level returns

International Review of Economics & Finance, 2011

The decomposition of variance and semivariance of asset returns is presented for forty-four country-level indexes. The proportion of risk explained for country-level returns in the Downside CAPM framework is higher than in the

Firm-level return dispersion and the future volatility of aggregate stock market returns

Journal of Financial Markets, 2003
Abstract We find a sizeable positive relation between firm return dispersion and future market-level volatility in U.S. monthly equity returns from 1927 to 1995. This intertemporal relation remains strong when controlling for return shocks in the aggregate stock market, widely used factor-mimicking portfolios, and government bonds.
