Inspired by Aumann and Serrano (2008) and Foster and Hart (2009), we propose risk-neutral options' implied measures of … riskiness and investigate their significance in predicting the cross section of expected returns per unit of risk. The empirical … stock returns. Stocks in the lowest riskiness portfolio have economically and statistically higher risk-adjusted returns …

This paper investigates how the downside tail risk of stock returns is differentiated cross-sectionally. Stock returns … follow heavy-tailed distributions with downside tail risk determined by the tail shape and scale. If safety-first investors … are concerned with sufficiently large downside losses, i.e. have a sufficiently low risk tolerance, then in the …

A conditional asset pricing model with risk and uncertainty implies that the time-varying exposures of equity … portfolios to the market and uncertainty factors carry positive risk premiums. The empirical results from the size, book … correlated with economic uncertainty proxied by the variance risk premium (VRP) carry a significant, annualized 8 percent premium …

REITs' idiosyncratic risk and their cross-sectional expected returns between 1981 and 2010. In addition to the full sample … models. Overall, we document a negative relation between idiosyncratic risk and cross-sectional expected returns and …

We propose a new measure of time-varying tail risk that is directly estimable from the cross section of returns. We … exploit firm-level price crashes every month to identify common fluctuations in tail risk across stocks. Our tail measure is … significantly correlated with tail risk measures extracted from S&P 500 index options, but is available for a longer sample since it …

We investigate how information choices impact equity returns and risk. Building on an existing theoretical model of …. High learning index stocks have lower future returns and risk compared to low learning index stocks. Analysis of a …
