We study consumption-portfolio and asset pricing frameworks with recursive preferences and unspanned risk. We show that … with recursive preferences and unspanned risk. Our setting is not restricted to affine asset price dynamics. Numerical …

Empirical measures of world consumption growth risk have failed to rationalize the cross-section of country equity … returns. We propose a new factor, termed "the global consumption factor", to explain the patterns in risk premiums on … from 47 developed and emerging market countries over a four-decade period. Our risk factor reflects changes in the cross …

risk measures for portfolios with infrequently traded securities have not been explored in the literature. We propose a … methodology to calculate market risk measures based on the Kalman filter which can be used on incomplete datasets. We implement … applied to other markets with thinly traded securities. Our methodology provides reliable market risk measures in portfolios …

theory suggests that with increasing labor income risk, the reluctance of households to hold stocks increases. We propose to … measure income risk as the observed variation of household income over a five year period. We find that indeed higher income … risk reduces the propensity to invest in stocks.
