We develop a model of firm investment under incomplete information that explains why idiosyncratic volatility and stock returns are related. When the unobserved state variable proxies for the business cycles, we show that a properly calibrated version of the model generates a negative relation...

The classic Lucas asset pricing model with complete markets stresses aggregate risk and, hence, fails to investigate the impact of agents heterogeneity on the dynamics of the equilibrium quantities and measures of trading volume. In this paper, we investigate under what conditions...

We analyze the implications of dynamic flows on a mutual fund manager's portfolio decisions. In our model, a myopic investor is allowed to dynamically allocate capital between a riskless asset and an actively managed mutual fund who charges fraction of fund fees. The presence of dynamic flows...

We study the pricing and hedging of contingent claims that are subject to Event Risk which we define as rare and unpredictable events whose occurrence may be correlated to, but cannot be hedged perfectly with standard marketed instruments. The super and sub-replication costs of such event...

We develop a q-theoretic model of investment under incomplete information that explains the link between idiosyncratic volatility and stock returns. When calibrated to match properties of the US business cycles as well as various firms and industry characteristics, the model generates a negative...

When investors have incomplete information, expected returns, as measured by an econometrician, deviate from those predicted by standard asset pricing models by including a term that is the product of the stock’s idiosyncratic volatility and the investors’ aggregated forecast errors. If...
