Firm-Level Productivity, Risk, and Return

Management Science, 2011
This paper provides new evidence about the link between firm-level total factor productivity (TFP) and stock returns. We estimate firm-level TFP and show that it is strongly related to several firm characteristics such as size, the book-to-market ratio, investment, and hiring rate.

Disclosure Level and Stock Returns

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2006
This paper examines the relation between disclosure level and subsequent stock performance. Using a sample of 695 firms over a fifteen-year period from 1981 to 1995, we find that analysts' rankings of overall firm disclosure are positively associated with one-year-ahead stock returns.

The Returns to Third Level Education

2017
Estimates of the private returns to education largely ignore the interaction of increasing gross earnings and the tax/benefit system, as well as the impact extra education may have on labour market outcomes and other non-labour incomes. Estimates of the public and non-pecuniary returns to education are also rare.

Exchange Rate Exposure of Stock Returns at Firm Level [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2014
The use of conventional augmented CAPM specification in estimating the exchange rate exposure may result in less reliable estimates for, at least, two reasons. First, it does not take into account a few important stylized facts associated with financial time series.

Return Periods and Return Levels Under Climate Change

2012
We investigate the notions of return period and return level for a nonstationary climate. We discuss two general methods for communicating risk. The first eschews the term return period and instead communicates yearly risk in terms of a probability of exceedance. The second extends the notion of return period to the non-stationary setting.
