I generalize the long-run risks (LRR) model of Bansal and Yaron (2004) by incorporating recursive smooth ambiguity aversion preferences from Klibanoff et al. (2005, 2009) and time-varying ambiguity. Relative to the Bansal-Yaron model, the generalized LRR model is as tractable but more flexible...

future returns. We argue that these firms have negative alphas because they are a hedge against expected aggregate volatility …, and the aggregate volatility risk factor can largely explain the high RSI effect. The key mechanism is that high RSI firms … more valuable as idiosyncratic volatility goes up. Idiosyncratic volatility usually increases with aggregate volatility (i …

This paper empirically analyzes a model that relates earnings price ratios to long term risk free rates and implied volatilities. The two periods with sufficient available data are 1890-1933, and 2007-2019. I estimate that modern investors have relative risk aversion of 1.34 and a time...

We investigate the informational content of credit default swap (CDS) spreads for future volatility of (firm) assets … and equity. In the cross-section, CDS spreads are significantly more informative about future asset than equity volatility … fundamental difference in the cross-sectional predictability of asset and equity volatility. This difference lies in the leverage …

We examine the informed trading in the options market for firms announcing CEO turnover and their suppliers and find that pre-announcement options trading in both announcing firms and the suppliers have predictive power for abnormal returns around forced CEO turnover events. This effect is...

We generalize the long-run risks (LRR) model in Bansal and Yaron (2004) by incorporating the recursive smooth ambiguity aversion preferences of Klibanoff, Marinacci, and Mukerji (2005, 2009) and time-varying ambiguity. Relative to the Bansal-Yaron model, the generalized LRR model remains...

This paper develops a tractable asset pricing framework based on an Arrow Debreu economy with heterogeneous agents. The assumption of heterogeneity recasts the market rather than aggregate consumption as the key element for pricing securities. The model expresses some asset pricing relationships...

By means of a difference-in-differences approach (sigma-DID), we investigate the effect that hedging has on corporate risk. Examining the relation between hedging and the idiosyncratic variance of stock returns, we show that when new commodity derivatives are introduced in the Chicago Mercantile...
