This paper focuses on Chinese institutional trading and its relation with stock returns. We use the data of institutional ownership of Topview from Shanghai Stock Exchange to get daily order flow of dealers and mutual funds. We first document that their daily order flow is persistent in the...

In a recent book, Kolari et al. developed a new theoretical capital asset pricing model dubbed the ZCAPM. Based on out-of-sample cross-sectional tests using U.S. stocks, the ZCAPM consistently outperformed well-known multifactor models popular in the finance literature. This paper presents...

This paper proposes an investor sentiment factor that can capture the process of investors' extrapolation and explores the role of the sentiment factor in the asset pricing. Using U.S. stock market data, we empirically find that the modified three-factor model augmented with sentiment factor can...

We propose a parsimonious quantile regression framework to learn the dynamic tail behaviors of financial asset returns. Our model captures well both the time-varying characteristic and the asymmetrical heavy-tail property of financial time series. It combines the merits of a popular sequential...

Stock returns can have positive and negative sensitivity to the cross-sectional standard deviation of returns or return dispersion (RD). To capture asymmetric RD effects, we propose a new asset pricing model dubbed the ZCAPM that takes into account beta risk associated with the market factor and...

This paper provides cross-sectional tests of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). To mitigate problems with noise in realized stock return series, we use a smoothed data series of average daily returns per month. Tests using U.S. stock returns for equal-weighted portfolios indicate that beta...
