We analyze a model of anomaly discovery. Consistent with existing evidence, we show that the discovery of an anomaly reduces its magnitude and increases its correlation with existing anomalies. One new prediction is that the discovery of an anomaly reduces the correlation between deciles 1 and...

We analyze a model of anomaly discovery and test its new predictions on both asset prices and arbitrageurs' trading. Consistent with existing evidence, the discovery of an anomaly reduces its magnitude and increases its correlation with other anomalies. Using 99 anomalies, we test the new...

This paper studies a principal-agent model in which the information on future firm performance is ambiguous and the agent is averse to ambiguity. We show that if firm risk is ambiguous, while stocks always induce the agent to perceive a high risk, options can induce him to perceive a low risk....

Motivated by the fact that investors have limited ability to process information, I model investors' bounded rational behavior in processing information and investigate its implications for asset pricing. Investors can make mistakes in processing information and thus have inaccurate estimates of...
