FINITE SAMPLE DISTRIBUTIONS OF RISK-RETURN RATIOS

Reza Habibi

Abstract


This paper approximates the finite sample distributions of risk-return ratios using bootstrapped Gram-Charlier expansion, in the case of independent returns case. Under GARCH modeling for returns, we approximate risk-return ratios by bootstrap and bootstrapped Gram-Charlier expansion. Hansen method is also applied and a chi-squared approximation is proposed. We also apply our results for S&P 500 data set. Finally, a conclusion section is given.
