Q2. What are the future works in "Are extreme returns priced in the stock market? european evidence" ?
1 % 13 Table 4 – Cross-sectional regressions of firm returns on firm characteristics Each month t the authors regress the cross-section of excess stock returns onto several explanatory variables.
Q3. What is the effect of the t-statistics on the hedge returns?
The authors find that high MAX stocks have larger market betas, smaller MC and higher B/M: all effects that have been found to increase average stock returns and therefore could distort or weaken the hedge returns found in panel A.
Q4. How many monthly excess stock returns are available?
Market beta, SMB beta and HML beta in month t are calculated using a minimum of 24 and a maximum of 60 monthly excess stock returns from months prior to month t.
Q5. How is the cross-section of returns before sorting?
Each month, before sorting, the cross-section of returns is winsorised at the 0.5% and 99.5% levels to ensure that results are not driven by extremes, although the effect of winsorising returns for portfolio sorts or regressions is found to be negligibly small.
Q6. How many lags are used to ensure that the data is always available to investors?
In the analyses that follow, the authors use twelve lags for B/M to ensure that accounting data is always available to investors at the time.
Q7. What is the effect of using MAX(5)?
In panel B the authors can see that using MAX(5) decreases the effect, since all hedge returns are now insignificant and a some alphas are no longer significant.
Q8. What is the average cross-sectional correlation between the two variables?
The average cross-sectional correlation between MAX(1) and Skew is 0.19 (p < 0.001) and it only drops for higher N. Despite the low correlation, MAX could still be a proxy for skewness.
Q9. What is the average slope coefficient of the MAX on its own?
The authors find that MAX on its own (model 1) is negatively related to the cross-section of future stock returns with an average slope coefficient of -0.0365 (t = -1.72).
Q10. What is the effect of sorts on the cross-section of future returns?
as the dependencies between different characteristics become increasingly complex, sorts will fail to provide a clear picture of what is really going on.
Q11. What is the average daily return of the hedge portfolio?
MAX(1) is the highest daily return over the 20 daily returns prior to month t. Beta is the market beta from the three factor model estimated using 24 to 60 monthly returns prior to month t. MC and B/M are the market capitalization and book-to-market ratio obtained from TDS.
Q12. What is the coefficient for MAX(N) in model 2?
the coefficient for MAX(N) in model 2 is negative and strongly significant when N is set to 2, 3, 4 or 5 (results not shown).
