This paper builds an empirical model to connect option-implied cumulants with expected risk premia through latent risk factors. Expected risk premia on individual stocks are estimated by applying a new partial least squares-based method on risk-neutral cumulants at different orders and various...

law of one price, and is present in all but risk-neutral economies. We test the cross-sectional predictions of our theory … equity than for assets, and stronger for more levered firms — consistent with the theory. We test also the timeseries … implications of the theory. Time variation in asset ivol causes time variation in the option value of equity that translates into …

I build a price-ratio model based on the Campbell and Shiller (1988) decomposition to test which components of investor expectations best explains cross-sectional price differences. I evaluate the in- and out-of-sample performance of my model, which uses a higher-order expansion with an added...

Stock market predictability is of considerable interest in both academic research and investment practice. Ross (2005) provides a simple and elegant upper bound on the predictive regression R-squared that R^2 = (1 R_f)^2 Var(m) for a given asset pricing model with kernel m, where R_f is the...

We study the effect of the home bias on international asset pricing by extending the core-satellite approach of active asset allocation to an equilibrium analysis. In this framework, investors combine a common core portfolio with an active investment in their home asset. In equilibrium, the core...

We document a nominal stock price effect that is (like momentum) associated with (national) culture. Using the full spectrum of cultural dimensions proposed by Hofstede et al. and the cross-section of stock returns of 41 countries, we not only show a robust predictive and explanatory power of...

Purpose - We propose a risk factor for idiosyncratic entropy and explore the relationship between this factor and expected stock returns. Design/methodology/approach - We estimate a cross-sectional model of expected entropy that uses several common risk factors to predict idiosyncratic entropy....

Existing literature employs two approaches to assess the validity of alternative proxies for firm-specific cost of equity capital. One approach relies on the theoretical link between future realized returns and cost of equity capital, while the second approach relies on the theoretical link...

Current empirical asset pricing research on idiosyncratic volatility (IVOL), negatively related to cross-sectional expected returns, fails to take explicit account of risk that results from a shock to a network of economically related stocks. These stocks move together, and are therefore...

We study the links between expectations, fundamentals, and asset returns using the rich empirical setup offered by commodity markets. We find that survey-based expectations predict future fundamentals, but are not significant predictors of future returns. Expectations of returns are correlated...
