Tracking Error and Tactical Asset Allocation

The relationship between statistical measures of tracking error and asset allocation restrictions expressed as admissible weight ranges is discussed. Tracking errors are typically calculated as annualized second moments of return differentials between a portfolio and a benchmark. In practice, however, constraints on tactical deviations from benchmark weights are often imposed on the...

A note on the common support problem in applied evaluation studies

Not available in German. This paper advocates the use of a nonparametric bounds analysis to check the robustness of the results of applied evaluation studies to the problem of a lack of common support. The typical responses by researchers of either ignoring it, or obtaining estimates only for the subpopulation within the common support, can both be misleading: Ignoring the problem...
