We introduce a simple definition of carbon-intensive firms to measure institutional investors' exposure to the emission intensities of portfolio companies. The definition is based on major emission industry sectors identified by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). All firms in...

There is little empirical evidence regarding downside risk in asset pricing, due in part to problems inherent in estimating downside risk. We argue that Berk and van Binsbergen (2016)'s approach to testing asset pricing models using the relation between investor flows and risk-adjusted fund...

Factors represent certain parts in the market, which are more attractive in the long term than other parts. In the case of equities for example, leading academic studies demonstrate that momentum, small cap and low-volatility stocks systematically generate higher risk-adjusted returns. Factors...

Using a unique dataset of 225 Dutch occupational pension funds with a total of 928 billion euro of assets under management, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the relation between investment costs and pension fund size. Our dataset is free from self-reporting biases and decomposes investment...
