This paper decomposes the risk premia of individual stocks into contributions from systematic and idiosyncratic risks … 80% of the equity and variance risk premia, respectively. I provide a categorization of sectors based on the risk profile …

While empirical literature has documented a negative relation between default risk and stock returns, the theory … suggests that default risk should be positively priced. We provide an explanation for this "default anomaly", by calculating … components. The systematic part, measured as the PD sensitivity to aggregate default risk, is positively related to stock returns …

Because of risk aversion, any sensible investment valuation system should value less Projects that contribute more to … the aggregate risk, i.e., that have a larger income elasticity of net benefits. In theory, this is done by adjusting … public and private institutions and people use a discount rate that is rather insensitive to the risk profile of their …

risk measures for portfolios with infrequently traded securities have not been explored in the literature. We propose a … methodology to calculate market risk measures based on the Kalman filter which can be used on incomplete datasets.

We study whether climate transition risk is reflected in the credit default swap (CDS) spreads of firms. Using … risk (CTR) factor, and document how this factor shifts the term structure of the CDS spreads of more vulnerable firms but … that they have asymmetric and significant economic impacts on the credit risk of more vulnerable firms, and negligible …
