This experimental paper investigates the impact of emotions on risk and return estimates of stocks. Participants rate well-known blue-chip firms on an emotional scale and forecast risk and return of the firms' stock. We find that positive emotions lead to a prediction of high return and low...

Empirically, standard, intuitive measures of risk like volatility and beta do not generate a positive correlation with average returns in most asset classes. It is possible that risk, however defined, is not positively related to return as an equilibrium in asset markets. This paper presents a...

We introduce three new families of reward-risk ratios, study their properties and compare them to existing examples. All ratios in the three families are monotonic and quasi-concave, which means that they prefer more to less and encourage diversification. Members of the second family are also...

This paper investigates the relation between uncertainty and stock index returns for 15 countries. An innovation is to … use macro-uncertainty at both the country and global level. Our results suggest that country-specific GDP uncertainty, but … not global GDP uncertainty is positively correlated with country returns. In contrast, we find that global inflation …

This stochastic simulation analysis examines the risk characteristics of target-date funds focusing on the trade-offs between wealth creation and security. The dynamic portfolio adjustment of marketed target-date funds, with varied asset allocations, along age and various time horizons is shown....

This paper analyses the risk and return of loans portfolios in a joint setting. I develop a model to obtain the distribution of loans returns. I use this model to describe the investment opportunity set of lenders using mean-variance analysis with a Value at Risk constraint. I also obtain closed...

Using equations that arise in quantum mechanics, this paper describes a way to more accurately and efficiently represent non-Gaussian return distributions than the standard method of invoking skewness and kurtosis. Then, it provides a new single intuitive number, defined here as the “crash...

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...

In this paper we provide an axiomatic foundation to Orlicz risk measures in terms of properties of their acceptance sets, by exploiting their natural correspondence with shortfall risk measures, thus paralleling the characterization in Weber (2006). From a financial point of view, Orlicz risk...
