Market Uncertainty, Investor Sentiment, and the Beta Premium
Financial Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper provides new insights into how time‐variation in the beta premium is related to popular measures of market uncertainty and sentiment; specifically, the CBOE's VIX and the sentiment index of Baker‐Wurgler (2006). We show that the beta premium: (1) increases nonlinearly with uncertainty, rising significantly only when VIX exceeds a ...

The Conditional CAPM does not Explain Asset-Pricing Anamolies [PDF]
Recent studies suggest that the conditional CAPM might hold, period-by-period, and that time-varying betas can explain the failures of the simple, unconditional CAPM.

A Quantile Model of Firm Investment
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Are firms risk averse? We propose a dynamic model of firm investment under uncertainty that captures firms' risk attitudes through quantile preferences. The firm maximizes its present value, defined as current profits and investment plus the discounted value of the τ$\tau$‐quantile of its value next period.

Journal of Financial Research, EarlyView.Abstract We revisit whether disclosures of negative Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) incidents adversely affect firms' stock prices. While univariate tests reveal significant negative abnormal returns around incident announcements, the effect disappears once firm characteristics, industry, and time‐fixed effects are controlled for.

The expected inflation risk premium in the U.S. stock market
Journal of Financial Research, EarlyView.Abstract This article studies how expected inflation risk affects asset prices. We propose an ex‐ante, tradable proxy for this risk, derived from the term spread of gold futures prices. Using cross‐sectional and time series asset pricing tests, we show how an increase in expected inflation risk lowers contemporaneous prices and raises equity returns ...

CAPM for Estimating the Cost of Equity Capital: Interpreting the Empirical Evidence [PDF]
We argue that the empirical evidence against the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) based on stock returns does not invalidate its use for estimating the cost of capital for projects in making capital budgeting decisions. Since stocks are backed not only
