We study the effect of an asymmetric environment on risk sharing. In our model, entrepreneurs consider undertaking … asymmetric environment, the returns on the alternative risk-free investment are allowed to differ between the entrepreneurs and … the presence of asymmetric options establishes links between the risk-free and risky sectors as well as between the real …

In line with the … theoretical predictions, we find that an increase in income risk is associated with higher savings for loss-averse individuals …

empirically study the relation between income risk, experimentally elicited loss aversion, and precautionary savings. We do so … subject to substantial income risk. In line with the theoretical predictions, we find that an increase in income risk is … aversion. An accompanying laboratory experiment confirms that an exogenous increase in income risk causally leads to this …

We develop a utility and asset pricing theory that features a novel measure of tail risk. Our model determines investor … demand for both left and right-tail risk premia from an indifference curve incorporating tolerance for variance and tail risk …. We show that the systematic tail risk factors determined by market co-tail-variabilities on individual assets are …

We examine the puzzling negative relation between financial distress risk and the cross-section of expected returns. We … most recent distress risk shocks to which investors initially underreact, causing temporary overpricing of distressed … stocks. In the long run, the relation between distress risk and returns reflects the positive risk premium as distress risk …

We propose new systematic tail risk measures constructed using two different approaches. The first extends the … market crash risk. Both tail risk measures are associated with a significantly positive risk premium after controlling for … other measures of downside risk, including downside beta, co-skewness and co-kurtosis.
