Inspired by Aumann and Serrano (2008) and Foster and Hart (2009), we propose risk-neutral options' implied measures of … riskiness and investigate their significance in predicting the cross section of expected returns per unit of risk. The empirical … stock returns. Stocks in the lowest riskiness portfolio have economically and statistically higher risk-adjusted returns …

This paper determines whether the world market risk, country-specific total risk, and country-specific idiosyncratic … risk are priced in an international capital asset pricing model (ICAPM). The paper also tests if the price of risk …, stacked time-series, and pooled panel regressions indicate that the world market risk is not, but country-specific total and …

This paper investigates the predictability of variance and value at-risk (VaR) measures in international stock markets … determine the persistency of these risk measures. We find that for all G7 countries considered in the paper persistency in …

price both systematic (beta and co-skewness) and non-systematic (idiosyncratic volatility) risk when determining the … appropriate rate of return on a security. We demonstrate that price targets contain risk-related information not incorporated into … other ex-ante measures of expected returns, as the risk/reward relations are not present using the other measures. Use of …

positive link between aggregate riskiness and market risk premium remains intact after controlling for the S&P500 index option … characterized by high aggregate risk aversion and high expected returns …

We introduce a new, hybrid measure of stock return tail covariance risk, motivated by the under-diversified portfolio … return as in standard systematic risk measures. We document a positive and significant relation between hybrid tail … covariance risk (H-TCR) and expected stock returns, with an annualized premium of 9%, in contrast to the insignificant or …
