Using local natural disasters as a quasi-experimental setting, we show that heightened distress risk in shocked firms drives both these firms and their unshocked competitors to cut profit margins by about 0.8 percentage points.

We quantify model risk of a financial portfolio whereby a multi-period meanstandard-deviation criterion is used as a selection criterion. In this work, model risk is defined as the loss due to uncertainty of the underlying distribution of the returns of the assets in the portfolio. The...

We analyze the quantitative asset-pricing implications of peers' strategic rivalry by embedding oligopolistic competition within an endowment economy. Rivalry intensity increases endogenously as the discount rate rises or expected growth declines, because peers care less about future...

This is the supplemental material to the paper titled "The Oligopoly Lucas Tree: Consumption Risk and Industry-Level Risk Exposure." It includes additional empirical, theoretical, and quantitative results. It also includes illustration for the numerical algorithm for our model solution
