Lundblad (2007, JFE) shows that the risk-return tradeoff is unequivocally positive with a two-century history of equity market data. A further examination of the relation with the UK monthly stock returns from 1836 to 2010 produces rather weak risk-return relation. I show that the risk-return...

Sample data cover the period from January 2008 to December 2017. The main sample was divided into two subperiods to insulate the...

We justify risk neutral equilibrium bidding in commonly known fair division games with incompleteinformation by an evolutionary setup postulating (i) minimal common knowledge, (ii) optimal responses to conjectural beliefs how others behave and (iii) evolutionary selection of conjectural beliefs...

In this paper, we study the skewness risk and its return predictability in the energy market. Skewness risk is often used to measure the possibility of market crash. We study both physical skewness (market skewness and cross-sectional average realized skewness) estimated from underlying stock...
