Stock market returns and consumption
Di Maggio, Marco; Kermani, Amir; Majlesi, Kaveh - 2018
This paper employs Swedish data on households' stock holdings to investigate how consumption responds to changes in stock market returns. We instrument the actual capital gains and dividend payments with past portfolio weights. Unrealized capital gains lead to a marginal propensity to consume...

Testing CAPM with a large number of assets
Pesaran, M. Hashem; Yamagata, Takashi - 2012
This paper is concerned with testing the time series implications of the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) due to Sharpe (1964) and Lintner (1965), when the number of securities, N, is large relative to the time dimension, T, of the return series. In the case of cross-sectionally correlated...

Risk sharing within and outside the firm: the disparate effects of wrongful discharge laws on expected stock returns
Mahlstedt, Robert; Weber, Rüdiger - 2020
We study the effect of wrongful-discharge laws (WDL) on firm-level stock returns. We find disparate effects depending on the exact design of the law. Consistent with rational, risk-based pricing, the effect on returns seems to be linked to how firms share systematic risk with their employees...

Mind, body, bubble! : psychological and biophysical dimensions of behavior in experimental asset markets
Butler, David J.; Cheung, Stephen L. - 2018
Asset market bubbles and crashes are a major source of economic instability and inefficiency. Sometimes ascribed to animal spirits or irrational exuberance, their source remains imperfectly understood. Experimental methods can isolate systematic deviations from an asset's fundamental value in a...

To see is to believe : common expectations in experimental asset markets
Cheung, Stephen L.; Hedegaard, Morten; Palan, Stefan - 2012
We challenge the recent claim that mispricing in the experimental asset markets introduced by Smith, Suchanek, and Williams (1988) is merely an artefact of confusion over declining fundamental value, and can be eliminated through appropriate training. We instead propose that when training is...

League-table incentives and price bubbles in experimental asset markets
Cheung, Stephen L.; Coleman, Andrew - 2011
We study experimental markets in which participants face incentives modeled upon those prevailing in markets for managed funds. Each participant's portfolio is periodically evaluated at market value and ranked in a league table according to short-term paper returns. Those who rank highly attract...

Trading while sleepy? : circadian mismatch and excess volatility in a global experimental asset market
Dickinson, David L.; Chaudhuri, Ananish; … - 2017
Traders in global markets operate at different local times-of-day. Suboptimal times-of-day may produce sleepiness due to daily variations in sleep/wake patterns and possibly also increased accumulation of hours awake. Global asset markets imply significantly increased heterogeneity in circadian...

How does the economic uncertainty affect asset prices under normal and financial distress times?
Balcilar, Mehmet; Ozdemir, Zeynel Abidin; Ozdemir, Huseyin - 2022
By using a nonlinear VAR model, we investigate whether the response of the US stock and housing markets to uncertainty shocks depends on financial conditions. Our model allows us to change the response of the US financial markets to volatility shocks in periods of normal and financial distress....
