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 volatilityread more

On the Demand for High-Beta Stocks: Evidence from Mutual Funds
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use a first-difference approach to show that in an effort to beat benchmarks, fund managers controlling large pension assets tend to increase their exposure to high-beta stocks while at the same time aiming to maintain tracking error around the benchmark.

Primary Market Characteristics and Secondary Market Frictions of Stocks
Rodney D Boehme,Gonul Colak +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the relationship between the primary market characteristics and the secondary market trading frictions of new stocks and identified major differences across portfolios of IPO stocks grouped by market heat, underpricing, offer price, underwriter prestige, and VC backing.

Asset Pricing When Traders Sell Extreme Winners and Losers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the asset pricing implications of a newly documented refinement of the disposition effect, characterized by investors being more likely to sell a security when the magnitude of their gains or losses on it increases.

Economic activity and momentum profits
Paulo F. Maio,Dennis Philip +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that economic activity plays an important role in explaining momentum-based anomalies, and they propose a simple two-factor model containing the market and alternative indicators of economic activity as risk factors, which is consistent with Merton's Intertemporal CAPM framework.

Why Does Idiosyncratic Risk Increase with Market Risk
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the positive relation between idiosyncratic risk and market risk is highly stable through time and is robust across exchanges, firm size, liquidity, and market-to-book groupings.

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.
