TLDR
This paper examined the pricing of aggregate volatility risk in the cross-section of stock returns and found that stocks with high sensitivities to innovations in aggregate volatility have low average returns, and that stock with high idiosyncratic volatility relative to the Fama and French (1993) model have abysmally low return.
Abstract
We examine the pricing of aggregate volatility risk in the cross-section of stock returns Consistent with theory, we find that stocks with high sensitivities to innovations in aggregate volatility have low average returns In addition, we find that stocks with high idiosyncratic volatility relative to the Fama and French (1993) model have abysmally low average returns This phenomenon cannot be explained by exposure to aggregate volatility risk Size, book-to-market, momentum, and liquidity effects cannot account for either the low average returns earned by stocks with high exposure to systematic volatility risk or for the low average returns of stocks with high idiosyncratic volatility

Turnover: Liquidity or Uncertainty?

TL;DR: This article showed that turnover is unrelated to several alternative measures of liquidity and liquidity risk and that liquidity risk factors cannot explain why higher turnover predicts lower future returns, and that the negative relation between turnover and future returns is stronger for firms with high market-to-book or bad credit rating and these regularities are also explained by the aggregate volatility risk factor.

Portfolio Selection: An Extreme Value Approach

TL;DR: Lower tail dependence (chi) as mentioned in this paper is a measure of the probability that a portfolio will suffer large losses given that the market does, which is important information for risk-averse investors.

Realization Utility with Reference-Dependent Preferences

TL;DR: The authors developed a tractable model of realization utility that studies the role of reference-dependent S-shaped preferences in a dynamic investment setting with reinvestment and generated both voluntarily realized gains and losses.

Investor Sentiment, Financial Report Quality and Stock Price Crash Risk: Role of Short-Sales Constraints

TL;DR: Li et al. as mentioned in this paper used firm-year observations of Chinese firms between 2003 and 2013 and empirically investigated the association between investor sentiment and stock crash risk with respect to short-sales constraint conditions.

The Capital Asset Pricing Model: Some Empirical Tests

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present some additional tests of the mean-variance formulation of the asset pricing model, which avoid some of the problems of earlier studies and provide additional insights into the nature of the structure of security returns.

No News is Good News: An Asymmetric Model of Changing Volatility in Stock Returns

TL;DR: In this paper, the generalized autoregressive conditionally heteroskedastic (GARCH) model of returns is modified to allow for volatility feedback effect, which amplifies large negative stock returns and dampens large positive returns, making stock returns negatively skewed and increasing the potential for large crashes.

The Impact of Jumps in Volatility and Returns

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined a class of continuous-time models that incorporate jumps in returns and volatility, in addition to diffusive stochastic volatility, and developed a likelihood-based estimation strategy and provided estimates of model parameters, spot volatility, jump times and jump sizes using both S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 index returns.

Intertemporal Asset Pricing Without Consumption Data

TL;DR: In this article, a new way to generalize the insights of static asset pricing theory to a multi-period setting is proposed, which uses a loglinear approximation to the budget constraint to substitute out consumption from a standard intertemporal asset pricing model.

Liquidity Risk and Expected Stock Returns

TL;DR: This article investigated whether market-wide liquidity is a state variable important for asset pricing and found that expected stock returns are related cross-sectionally to the sensitivities of returns to fluctuations in aggregate liquidity.
