It is shown that the Ritz projection onto spaces of piecewise linear finite elements is bounded in the Sobolev space, $\overset{\circ}{W}_p^1$, for $2 \leqslant p \leqslant \infty$. This implies that ...

We study in detail the log-linear return approximation introduced by Campbell and Shiller (1988a). First, we derive an upper bound for the mean approximation error, given stationarity of the log ...
