We provide a broad empirical investigation of momentum strategies in the foreign exchange market. We find a significant cross-sectional spread in excess returns of up to 10% p.a. between past winner and loser currencies. This spread in excess returns is not explained by traditional risk factors,...

Der diesjährige Nobelpreis für Wirtschaftswissenschaften ist an drei Forscher "für ihre empirische Analyse von Vermögenspreisen" verliehen worden. Zwei der Laureaten haben ganz unterschiedliche Sichtweisen auf die Funktionsfähigkeit von Finanzmärkten: Während Fama die...

The puzzling evidence of seemingly high momentum returns is related to an understanding of risk as a simple covariance. If we consider, however, risk in higher-order statistical moments, momentum returns appear less advantageous. Thus, a prospect-theoretical assessment of US stock momentum...

This paper finds that fund managers do not expect mean reverting returns, as suggested by theory and empirical evidence, but mean averting returns. The degree of mean aversion is positively related to preferences for non-fundamental information and loss aversion.
