This paper examines time-varying stock price and volatility dynamics of constituent industry sector indices in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. It finds that market beta risk is priced in the time-series movements of stock prices and responds positively to rises in non-diversifiable risk. The asset...

The paper examines the effect of exchange rate risk on the conditional relationship between beta risk and return in international equity markets from January 1978 through September 2004. We use an extension of the model introduced by Pettengill, Sundaran, and Mathur (PSM Model, 1995) and adapted...

We study the temporal behavior of the cross-sectional distribution of assets' market exposure, or betas, using a large panel of high-frequency returns. The asymptotic setup has the sampling frequency of returns increasing to infinity, while the time span of the data remains fixed, and the...

This paper shows that leading theories of the beta anomaly fail to explain the anomaly’s conditional performance. Abnormal returns and Sharpe ratios of betting-against-beta (BAB) factors rise following months with below-median realized volatility, even controlling for mispricing, limits to...
