Takeover protections and stock returns
Eisdorfer, Assaf; Morellec, Erwan; Zhdanov, Alexei - 2020
We argue that takeover protections decrease equity value and increase equity risk and stock returns by removing a valuable put option to sell equity when firms approach financial distress. We investigate these claims empirically by looking at the dynamics of equity prices, equity risk, and stock...

The perils of performance measurement in the German mutual-fund industry
Böhme, Philip; Pohl, Walter; Schmedders, Karl - 2013
We document a curious feature of the German mutual fund industry. Unlike U.S. mutual funds, funds domiciled in Germany do not necessarily compute their net asset values (NAV) as of market close. Using a sample of German equity funds, we infer each fund's NAV closing time from the best-fit market...

Value around the world
Caliskan, Nilufer; Hens, Thorsten - 2013
We show that in a consumption-based asset-pricing model with hyperbolic discounting leading to dynamically inconsistent time preferences value premium increases nonlin-early with the degree of discounting and thus affects cross section of returns. To test our model empirically, we relate the...

The acceleration effect and gamma factor in asset pricing
Ardila, Diego; Forró, Zalán; Sornette, Didier - 2015
We report strong evidence that changes of momentum, i.e. "acceleration", defined as the first difference of successive returns, provide better performance and higher explanatory power than momentum. The corresponding Γ-factor explains the momentum-sorted portfolios entirely but not the reverse....

Delegated portfolio management, optimal fee contracts, and asset prices
Sato, Yuki - 2015
This paper proposes a model of asset-market equilibrium with portfolio delegation and optimal fee contracts. Fund managers and investors strategically interact to determine funds' investment profiles, while they share portfolio risk through fee contracts. In equilibrium, their investment...

The wealth creation effect in stock returns
Franzoni, Francesco; Obrycki, Daniel; Resendes, Rafael - 2022
In the asset pricing literature, higher investment is associated with lower expected stock returns. On the other hand, practitioners view investment as a value-creating activity when it generates payoffs above the cost of capital. The paper reconciles these views. Starting from a discounted...

Cross-section without factors : correlation risk, strings and asset prices
Distaso, Walter; Mele, Antonio; Vilkov, Grigory - 2021 - This version: January 13, 2021
Many asset pricing theories treat the cross-section of returns volatility and correlations as two intimately related quantities driven by common factors, which hinders achieving a neat definition of a correlation premium. We formulate a model without factors, but with a continuum of securities...

The changing nature of market risk
Franzoni, Francesco - 2008
In the first three decades of CRSP data, value stocks have higher betas than growth stocks. Later on, the ranking is reversed and the gap in beta widens. What makes growth strategies nowadays bear more market risk than value strategies? What are the causes of the reversal in the ranking of...

Learning about beta: time-varying factor loadings, expected returns, and the conditional CAPM
Adrian, Tobias; Franzoni, Francesco - 2008
We complement the conditional CAPM by introducing unobservable long-run changes in risk factor loadings. In this … variation in betas, our approach circumvents recent criticisms of the conditional CAPM. When tested on portfolios sorted by size … and book-to-market, our learning-augmented conditional CAPM fails to be rejected …

Asymmetric beta comovement and systematic downside risk
Jondeau, Eric; Zhang, Qunzi - 2014
In this paper, we document evidence that downside betas tend to comove more than upside betas during a financial crisis, but upside betas tend to comove more than the downside betas during financial booms. We find that the asymmetry between Downside-Beta Comovement and Upside-Beta Comovement is...
