Recent empirical evidence suggests that the variance risk premium predicts aggregate stock market returns. We demonstrate that statistical finite sample biases cannot “explain” this apparent predictability. Further corroborating the existing evidence of the U.S., we show that country...

Jumps in asset prices are ubiquitous, yet the apparent high price of jump risk observed empirically is widely viewed as puzzling. Importantly however, in addition to direct price risks, jumps may also trigger simultaneous changes in other distributional features of asset returns. We develop...

We propose new refined measures of the local covariation between the return on an asset and a risk factor. Our proposed "granular betas" generalize the notion of up- and down-side betas to multi-factor functional measures of covariation. We then show how the resulting granular beta functions may...
