We investigate price discovery over the 24-hour trading day for equities, currencies, bonds, and commodities. Sizable 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 and return play a central role in financial theory. Return is easily measurable and is a percentage number indicating by how much the value of an investment or asset has changed from the previous period. But how should risk be measured? Over longer holding periods, return generation is...

We study the impact of economic policy uncertainty on the term structure of nominal interest rates. We develop a general equilibrium model, in which both the government and the central bank policy decisions are driven by uncertainty shocks. Our affine yield curve model captures both the shape of...

Investors and regulators require reliable estimates of physical climate risks for decision-making. While assessing these risks is challenging, several commercial data providers and academics have started to develop physical risk scores at the firm level. This paper compares six physical risk...

It is common in the financial mathematics literature to start by fixing a probability space $(\Omega,\mathcal F,\mathbb P)$, on which the underlying price process is defined. We depart from this route in that we do not fix the prior $\mathbb P$. Under very general assumptions, we recover the...

The severity of extreme weather events is increasing due to climate change, giving rise to physical climate risk. However, physical climate risk is not only driven by the severity of individual hazards, but also by the interdependence of those hazards. This paper establishes bounds for the...

The concept of second-order risk operationalizes the estimation risk in portfolio construction induced by model uncertainty. We study its contribution to the realized volatility of recently developed risk parity strategies. For each strategy, we derive closed-form solutions for the second-order...
