We examine if extreme weather exposure impacts firms’ cost of equity. Motivated by a consumption-based asset pricing model with heterogeneous agents, we reveal the existence of an extreme weather risk premium in the cross-section of stock returns. In the period from 1995 to 2019, domestic U.S....

This paper investigates how investors' abnormal attention affects the cross-section of cryptocurrency returns in the period from 2018 to 2022. We capture abnormal attention using the (log) number of Twitter posts on individual cryptocurrencies on the current day minus a 30-day average. Our...

We investigate the cross-sectional return predictability of delta-hedged equity options using machine learning and big data. Drawing upon more than 12 million observations over the period from 1996 to 2020, we find that allowing for nonlinearities significantly increases the out-of-sample...

This paper investigates whether multivariate crash risk is priced in the cross- section of expected stock returns. Motivated by a theoretical asset pricing model, we capture the multivariate crash risk of a stock by a combined measure based on its expected shortfall and its multivariate lower...
