However, by using quantile regressions, we find that the risk-return relation moves from negative … to positive as the returns’ quantile increases. A positive risk-return relation is valid only in the upper quantiles. The …

Due to the lack of descriptive information about the effectiveness of risk management activities, decision-makers often … examine risk management decisions.
