This study shows that market volatility affects stock returns both directly and indirectly through its impact on liquidity provision and the negative relation between market volatility and stock returns arises not only from greater risk premiums but also greater illiquidity premiums that are...

Using U.S. data from 1926 to 2015, I show that financial skewness?a measure comparing cross-sectional upside and downside risks of the distribution of stock market returns of financial firms?is a powerful predictor of business cycle fluctuations. I then show that shocks to financial skewness are...

This working paper presents the general theory of the higher order "skew lognormal cascade distribution" as a … market index, and the market entropy of the stock market. Such study in the context of stochastic portfolio theory reveals … distribution, which is the lognormal cascade equation in our theory. This shows that the fluctuations of the market index are a …

This paper applies a fractional integration framework to analyse the stochastic behaviour of two Russian stock market volatility índices (namely the originally created RTSVX and the new RVI that has replaced it), using daily data over the period 2010-2018. The empirical findings are consistent...

This paper calibrates a class of jump-diffusion long-run risks (LRR) models to quantify how well they can jointly explain the equity risk premium and the variance risk premium in the U.S. financial markets, and whether they can generate realistic dynamics of riskneutral and realized...

This paper examines continuous-time models for the price and volatility processes of individual stocks and the S\amp;P 100 index via Markov Chain Monte Carlo estimation. We find that the stochastic processes governing individual stocks are rather heterogeneous. A key result of our investigation...

We compare the performance of popular covariance forecasting models in the context of a portfolio of major European equity indices. We find that models based on high-frequency data offer a clear advantage in terms of statistical accuracy. They also yield more theoretically consistent predictions...

We show that after monetary policy announcements, the conditional volatility of stock market returns rises more for firms with stickier prices than for firms with more flexible prices. This differential reaction is economically large and strikingly robust to a broad array of checks. These...

This paper analyzes the determinants of the simultaneous cross-sectional variation of return and volatility risk premia. Independently of the model specification employed, the estimated risk premium associated with the default premium beta is always positive and statistically different from...
