This study finds that stock return volatility is higher during periods of high tax policy uncertainty (TPU), even after … return volatility is more pronounced where firms are characterized by greater variability in tax outcomes. We adopt a broad … participants. We also document that the effects of TPU are concentrated in systematic volatility. Overall our results suggest that …

price discovery occurs around the clock for most assets. For a given asset, intraday risk and return distributions are … fairly similar, indicating a broadly constant risk-return-relationship during the day. Although the amount of price discovery … assets do not exhibit the U-shaped intraday volatility pattern that has been documented for US equities, even if only main …

Total risk of … an individual stock is decomposed into two components, systematic risk and idiosyncratic risk, and both components are … studied separately.

The relationship between risk and return is one of the most studied topics in finance. The majority of the literature … is based on a linear, parametric relationship between expected returns and conditional volatility. This paper models the …-realized variance.
