Downside Variance Risk Premium
Staff Working Paper 2015-36
Bruno Feunou,
Mohammad R. Jahan-Parvar,
Cédric Okou
We decompose the variance risk premium into upside and downside variance risk premia. These components reflect market compensation for changes in good and bad uncertainties. Their difference is a measure of the skewness risk premium (SRP), which captures asymmetric views on favorable versus undesirable risks.

Heterogeneity in the Dynamic Effects of Uncertainty on Investment
Staff Working Paper 2015-34
Sungje Byun,
Soojin Jo
How does aggregate profit uncertainty influence investment activity at the firm level? We propose a parsimonious adaptation of a factor-autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity model to exploit information in a subindustry sales panel for an efficient and tractable estimation of aggregate volatility.

Staff Working Paper 2015-31
Michael Devereux,
Wei Dong,
Ben Tomlin
This paper investigates the impact of market structure on the joint determination of exchange rate pass-through and currency of invoicing in international trade. A novel feature of the study is the focus on market share of firms on both sides of the market—that is, exporting firms and importing firms.

The Endogenous Relative Price of Investment
Staff Working Paper 2015-30
Joel Wagner
This paper takes a full-information model-based approach to evaluate the link between investment-specific technology and the inverse of the relative price of investment. The two-sector model presented includes monopolistic competition where firms can vary the markup charged on their product depending on the number of firms competing.
