Risk-adjusted momentum returns are usually estimated by sorting stocks into a regularly rebalanced long-short portfolio based on their prior return and then running a full-sample regression of the portfolio returns on a set of factors (portfolio-level risk adjustment). This approach implicitly...

I show that retail investors overweight stocks with low prices in their portfolios. In addition, they are more likely to sell stocks with high prices than to sell stocks with low prices. This finding is distinct from the disposition effect. To establish a causal relation, I use stock splits as...

I show that the disposition effect is not necessarily a behavioral bias of investors. In my sample of US mutual funds, the disposition effect is rather driven by investment styles. I find a strong disposition effect for value funds, but I find no disposition effect for growth funds. Focusing on...

We reconsider the issue of price discovery in spot and futures markets. We use a threshold error correction model to allow for arbitrage operations to have an impact on the return dynamics. We estimate the model using quote midpoints, and we modify the model to account for time-varying...
