Paper, they are derived from risk-value models that generalize the Markowitz-model. We use a behaviourally based risk … measure with an endogenous or exogenous benchmark. If the risk measure is modelled by a negative HARA-function, then sharing … variance and kurtosis of the risk-neutral probability distribution of the aggregate pay-off. …

We explore the pricing of variance risk by decomposing stocks' total variance into systematic and idiosyncratic return … variances. While systematic variance risk exhibits a negative price of risk, common shocks to the variances of idiosyncratic … returns carry a large positive risk premium. This implies investors pay for insurance against increases (declines) in …

This Paper solves explicitly a simple equilibrium asset pricing model with liquidity risk – the risk arising from … various channels through which liquidity risk may affect asset prices. Our empirical results shed light on the total and …

We examine the risk-return characteristics of a rolling portfolio investment strategy where more than six thousand … turnover and low leverage, which may lower systematic risk exposures. To examine this possibility, we launch an easily … constructed ‘low minus high’ (LMH) stock turnover portfolio as a liquidity risk factor. The LMH factor produces significant betas …

This Paper analyses the relation between momentum strategies (strategies that buy stocks with high returns over the previous three to 12 months and sell stocks with low returns over the same period) and turnover (number of shares traded divided by the number of shares outstanding) for the German...

We model the demand-pressure effect on prices when options cannot be perfectly hedged. The model shows that demand pressure in one option contract increases its price by an amount proportional to the variance of the unhedgeable part of the option. Similarly, the demand pressure increases the...
