About the Book:
In this book we investigate the long term dynamic evolution of bills, bonds, equities, commodity prices and inflation covering the U.S. market. We introduce new stress and stability metrics to overcome traditional risk measures such as volatility, value at risk, and drawdown statistics. With these new measures we identify and quantify break points by bayesian methods, detect extremes and outlying values by robust principal component approaches and explore non-stationary and multi-resolution aspects by wavelet analysis. The data set consists of a long-run study starting at the end of 1925 and covering the main asset classes from the point of view of an U.S. Investor.
The present work is the broadest long-run analysis of bills, bonds, stocks, inflation, and commodities on a monthly database.
