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

Learning About CEO Ability and Stock Return Volatility
TL;DR: In this paper, a large sample of CEO turnover in U.S. public firms was used to investigate the effect of uncertainty about a CEO's ability on stock return volatility. And they found that uncertainty about CEO ability contributes substantially to return volatility, accounting for approximately 25% of total stock return variance at the time of the CEO turnover.

Aggregate Jump and Volatility Risk in the Cross-Section of Stock Returns
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the pricing of both aggregate jump and volatility risk in the cross-section of stock returns by constructing investable option trading strategies that load on one factor but are orthogonal to the other.

Liquidity Shocks and Stock Market Reactions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the stock market underreacts to stock level liquidity shocks, and they also predict future return continuations for up to six months by sorting long-short portfolios sorted on liquidity shocks.

Investor Sentiment and Economic Forces
TL;DR: This paper explored the role of investor sentiment in the pricing of a broad set of macro-related risk factors and found that high-risk portfolios with higher risk exposure do not earn higher returns.

What Explains the Dynamics of 100 Anomalies
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors empirically explore the effect of investor sentiment or limits of arbitrage on expected equity returns and find that the predictive power of sentiment is mostly restricted to the short leg of strategy returns.

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.
