Do stock price bubbles influence corporate investment?

Building on recent developments in behavioral asset pricing, we develop a model in which an increase in the dispersion of investor beliefs under short-selling constraints predicts a "bubble," or a rise in a stock's price above its fundamental value. Our model predicts that managers respond to...

Betting against beta (and gamma) using government bonds

Durham, J. Benson - Federal Reserve Bank of New York - 2015

The equity risk premium: a review of models

Duarte, Fernando; Rosa, Carlo - Federal Reserve Bank of New York - 2015
