In this paper, we introduce a class of optimized certainty equivalent based on the variational preference, give its dual representation based on ϕ-divergence, and study its equivalent characterization of positive homogeneity and coherence. As applications, we investigate the properties of...

How to detect different tail behaviors of two risk random variables with the same mean is an important task. In this paper, motivated by Burzoni et al. (2022), a class of convex risk measures, called as adjusted higher-order Expected Shortfall (ES), is introduced and studied. The adjusted risk...

Recent evidence has shown that entrants into self-employment are disproportionately drawn from the tails of the earnings and ability distributions. This observation is explained by a multi-task model of occupational choice in which frictions in the labor market induces mismatches between firms...

We address the twin puzzles of anomalously low returns for high idiosyncratic volatility and high distress risk stocks, documented by Ang, Hodrick, Xing and Zhang (2006) and Campbell, Hilscher and Szilagyi (2005), respectively. We accomplish two objectives in this study. First, we investigate...

By examining managers’ decisions about disclosing updated assessments of firms’ risks, we present evidence that the risk factor disclosures are informative. We use the setting of cybersecurity risk factor disclosures after a data breach because data breaches, especially severe breaches,...
