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

Skewness Preference and Seasoned Equity Offers

TL;DR: In this paper, the degree of expected idiosyncratic skewness in seasoned equity stock returns is an important determinant of flotation costs and post-issue abnormal stock performance, and the results suggest that skewnness-induced overpricing increases the flotation cost of seasoned equity offers and leads to poor post- issue stock performance.

Volatility Risks and Growth Options

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measure growth opportunities by firms' exposure to idiosyncratic volatility news and show that price sensitivity to variation in idiosyncratic variance carries significant information about firms' future investment and growth even after controlling for conventional proxies of growth options.

FIEGARCH-M and and International Crises: A Cross-Country Analysis

TL;DR: This article applied fractionally integrated exponential GARCH with volatility-in-mean (FIEGARCH-M) model to estimate the risk premium after different crises occurred in major stock markets during the past two decades.

High Short Interest Effect and Aggregate Volatility Risk

TL;DR: In this article, a risk-based firm-type explanation on why stocks of firms with high relative short interest (RSI) have lower future returns has been proposed, arguing that these firms have negative alphas because they are a hedge against expected aggregate volatility risk.

The Impact of Asymmetry on Expected Stock Returns: An Investigation of Alternative Risk Measures

TL;DR: It is found that, although investors seem to be compensated for total risk, measures of downside risk are better at explaining future returns, and when comparing downside risk to upside risk, investors are more concerned about downside risk.

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.
