data on both the aggregate stock market and aggregate labor income. The paper finds that aggregate stock market risk is the … main factor determining excess stock and bond returns, but that the price of stock market risk does not equal the … coefficient of relative risk aversion as would be implied by the static Capital Asset Pricing Model …

MBS earn risk premia as compensation for their exposure to prepayment risk. We measure prepayment risk and estimate … security risk loadings using real data on prepayment forecasts vs. realizations. Estimated loadings are monotonic in securities … investors. In particular, we find convincing evidence that prepayment risk prices change sign over time with the sign of a …

Limit Theorem (CLT) for the cross-sectional beta dispersion at a point in time, enabling us to test whether this quantity … beta dispersion, as a function of time-of-day, changes across days. We extend this further by developing inference … techniques for the entire cross-sectional beta distribution at fixed points in time. We demonstrate, for constituents of the S …

We propose a new measure of time-varying tail risk that is directly estimable from the cross section of returns. We … exploit firm-level price crashes every month to identify common fluctuations in tail risk across stocks. Our tail measure is … significantly correlated with tail risk measures extracted from S&P 500 index options, but is available for a longer sample since it …

projected temperature path, the observed consumption growth dynamics, discount rates provided by the risk-free rate and equity … warming, specifically, long-run temperature shifts. We find that global warming carries a positive risk premium that increases … US equity portfolios have negative exposure (beta) to long-run temperature fluctuations. The elasticity of equity prices …

appropriate measure of an asset's risk is the covariance of the asset's return with the market return. The consumption CAPM, on … the other hand, implies that a better measure of risk is the covariance with aggregate consumption growth. We examine a … this paper, we compare two formulations of the Capital Asset Pricing Model. The traditional CAPM suggests that the …

A key criticism of the existing empirical literature on the risk-return relation relates to the relatively small amount …, measures of conditional mean and conditional volatility--and ultimately the risk-return relation itself--will be misspecified … that three new factors, a quot;volatility,quot; quot;risk premium,quot; and quot;realquot; factor, contain important …
