This paper studies the historical time-varying dynamics of risk for individual stocks in the U.S. market. Total risk of … an individual stock is decomposed into two components, systematic risk and idiosyncratic risk, and both components are … studied separately. We start from the historical trend in the magnitude of risk and then turn to the relation between …

extensive number of robustness checks. Overall, downside cash flow risk is priced most consistently across different samples … ability. The downside cash flow risk premium is mainly attributable to small stocks. The risk premium for large stocks appears … much more driven by a compensation for symmetric, cash flow related risk. Finally, we multiply our premia estimates by …

issuers, we provide evidence to support a statistically significant negative downgrade risk premium in excess returns …, suggesting that stocks at higher risk of failure tend to deliver lower returns. The performance of the model remains robust … across several estimation methods. Panel Granger causality test results indicate that there indeed is a Granger …

Recent research (see Moreira and Muir, 2017) suggests that volatility-managed portfolios take less risk when volatility … extend this literature by investigating the profitability of volatility-managing the Fama and French (2017) local risk … factors in international equity markets. Our general findings indicate that volatility-managing adds value for local risk …
