I develop a theoretical framework to identify investors' subjective beliefs that are jointly consistent with survey expectations and asset prices in markets where investors face trading frictions. To quantify the deviation of investors' beliefs from Rational Expectations (RE), I provide a metric...

Uniqueness of equilibrium is a relatively unexplored issue in incomplete markets compared with complete markets. This work shows that one-fund separation is sufficient for the uniqueness of equilibrium in a special class of incomplete markets with two agents and two assets. Specifically, it...

We study the links between expectations, fundamentals, and asset returns using the rich empirical setup offered by commodity markets. We find that survey-based expectations predict future fundamentals, but are not significant predictors of future returns. Expectations of returns are correlated...

This paper builds an empirical model to connect option-implied cumulants with expected risk premia through latent risk factors. Expected risk premia on individual stocks are estimated by applying a new partial least squares-based method on risk-neutral cumulants at different orders and various...

We document a nominal stock price effect that is (like momentum) associated with (national) culture. Using the full spectrum of cultural dimensions proposed by Hofstede et al. and the cross-section of stock returns of 41 countries, we not only show a robust predictive and explanatory power of...

We measure investors' short- and long-term stock-return expectations using both options and survey data. These expectations at different horizons reveal what investors think their own short-term expectations will be in the future, or forward return expectations. While contemporaneous short-term...

This study suggests a new measure for a firm's operating cost flexibility. Flexible firms are less risky and, therefore, require lower stock returns. This analysis of 126,202 firm-year observations from the U.S. cross-section of stock returns finds that the new measure explains a negative...
