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

Information Uncertainties and Asset Pricing Puzzles: Risk or Mispricing?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide empirical evidence consistent with Merton's (1974) default risk hypothesis and inconsistent with Miller's (1977) mispricing hypothesis that stock price behaviors may result from misprices.

Are Mutual Fund Managers Good Gamblers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the skill of mutual fund managers by focusing in their holdings of a special type of stock and find that the Lottery stocks that fund managers pick tend to outperform the rest of the market, and the funds themselves persistently outperform similar funds that don't invest in these stocks.

Analysts' Incentives and the Dispersion Effect
Chuan-Yang Hwang,Yuan Li +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explain the negative relationship between analysts' forecast dispersion and future stock return, commonly known as the dispersion effect, as a result of analysts' incentives of not fully downward revising their earnings forecasts when they possess bad news about the firms they cover.

Option-Implied Idiosyncratic and Systematic Risk in the Cross-Section of Expected Stock Returns
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce a model-based approach to estimate higher order idiosyncratic moments and co-moments of individual equities exclusively from the cross-section of option prices, including the full spectrum of available maturities and strike prices.

Price Response to Factor Index Additions and Deletions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that factor index rebalancing is a true information free event and that the cumulative abnormal return from announcement to effective day is 107% for new additions and -091% for deletions and around two-thirds of this effect is permanent.

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.
