Following the textbook C-CAPM, the consumption risk of an asset is typically measured as the contemporaneous covariance … of the marginal utility of consumption and the return on that asset. When measured this way, consumption risk is too … central insight of the C-CAPM - that consumption risk determines returns - but take the model less literally by allowing the …

We study international currency risk in a two-country dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model under incomplete … markets. The underlying sources of risk are direct shocks to productivity growth, shocks to a long-run risk component of …-run risk and stochastic volatility shocks have the interpretation of aggregate demand shocks.

Despite facing significant uncertainty about their lifespans and health care costs, most retirees do not buy annuities or long-term care insurance. In this paper, I find that retirees' saving and insurance choices are highly inconsistent with standard life cycle models in which people care only...

We investigate the effects of wildfires on risk perceptions by quantifying the impact of severe wildfires on housing … between locations that vary in their perceived level of fire risk. The model allows us to infer the evolution of risk … analysis is based on a multi-dimensional characterization of the potential linkages between fire events and risk perceptions …

The extent and direction of causation between micro volatility and business cycles are debated. We examine, empirically and theoretically, the source and effects of fluctuations in the dispersion of producer- level sales and production over the business cycle. On the theoretical side, we study...

Asset pricing models such as the conditional CAPM are typically estimated with MLE using a monthly or quarterly horizon with data sampled to match the horizon even though daily data are available. We develop an overlapping data inference methodology (ODIN) that uses all of the data while...
