There is a strand of CAPM based analytical research in accounting that uncovers a little known CAPM corollary, namely … that the firm's cost of capital is a joint effect of its payoff risk and payoff mean. The CAPM equilibrium mechanism has … origins of this finding to Fama and Lintner's original CAPM derivation. Although surprising, the role of the mean, and more …

Current factor models do not identify risks that matter to investors. To address this issue, we provide a factor model implementation of the ICAPM, which captures market risk and intertemporal risk (i.e., changes in long-term expected returns and volatility). We build our intertemporal risk...

We measure a stock's exposure to fire sale risk through its ownership links to equity mutual funds that experience outflows during periods of systematic outflows from the fund industry. We find that more exposed stocks earn higher average returns: a portfolio that buys (shorts) stocks with the...

This paper documents empirically that increases in the book-to-market spread predict larger market premiums in sample and larger size, value, and investment premiums (also) out of sample. In addition, increases in the investment (or profitability) spread exclusively predict larger investment (or...

We show that a model featuring an average commodity factor, a carry factor, and a momentum factor is capable of describing the cross-sectional variation of commodity returns. More parsimonious one- and two-factor models that feature only the average and/or carry factors are rejected. To provide...

We analyze short-duration equity investments using traded claims on index dividends. We show that investment strategies with constant short maturity outperform a systematic long position in the underlying equity index on a risk-adjusted basis and in absolute terms. Furthermore, we find higher...

Our paper analyzes the performance of different methods to adjust beta. Specifically, we compare the standard OLS regression method with the Blume and the t-distribution methods from the point of view of reference-day risk. Our results indicate that the t-distribution method minimizes the...

We examine the puzzling negative relation between financial distress risk and the cross-section of expected returns. We find that the negative relation is most pronounced for up to six months after portfolio formation but after that, high distress stocks eventually earn persistently high...
