This paper investigates whether multivariate crash risk is priced in the cross- section of expected stock returns …. Motivated by a theoretical asset pricing model, we capture the multivariate crash risk of a stock by a combined measure based on …. We find that stocks with a high exposure to joint crashes of the market and the momentum factor bear a risk premium which …

We use cross-country microdata to analyse the risk taking of households in Europe and the US. Concerning the extensive … inside Europe we document substantial differences. Furthermore, average risk aversion is strongly correlated with the share … explainable by household characteristics as well as differences in risk aversion and a remainder. We employ the unexplained part …

Monetary risk measures classify a financial position by the minimal amount of external capital that must be added to … the position to make it acceptable.We propose a new concept: intrinsic risk measures.
