Using textual analysis and comparing cybersecurity-risk disclosures of firms that were hacked to others that were not …, we propose a novel firm-level measure of cybersecurity risk for all US-listed firms. We then examine whether … cybersecurity risk is priced in the cross-section of stock returns. Portfolios of firms with high exposure to cybersecurity risk …

We introduce and study the main properties of a class of convex risk measures that refine Expected Shortfall by … adjusted Expected Shortfalls quantify risk as the minimum amount of capital that has to be raised and injected into a financial … probability level p\in[0,1]. Through the choice of the benchmark risk profile g one can tailor the risk assessment to the specific …

We address the problem of risk sharing among agents using a two-parameter class of quantile-based risk measures, the so …-called Range-Value-at-Risk (RVaR), as their preferences. The family of RVaR includes the Value-at-Risk (VaR) and the Expected … Shortfall (ES), the two popular and competing regulatory risk measures, as special cases. We first establish an inequality for …

We study risk sharing games with quantile-based risk measures and heterogeneous beliefs, motivated by the use of … equivalent to equilibrium allocations, and the equilibrium price is unique. For Value-at-Risk (VaR) agents or mixed VaR and ES … agents, a competitive equilibrium does not exist. Our results generalize existing ones on risk sharing games with risk …

take risk as measured by the general risk question. We demonstrate that this disposition, which we call risk conception, is … strongly associated with optimism, a stable facet of personality and that it predicts real-life risk taking. The general risk … question captures this disposition alongside pure risk preference. This enlightens why the general risk question is a better …
