Do expected asset returns vary through time? Why do some assets exhibit higher average returns than others? How can factors that drive expected returns in the time series be linked to factors that explain the cross-sectional dispersion in average returns? How do these findings affect...

In this paper, I identify the long-run risks (LRR) in the frequency domain, and further estimate the macro (consumption) risk premia in different frequency ranges. To achieve the identification, I employ the long-run projections and the associated inference procedure for I(0) process developed...

In this paper we propose a stochastic volatility model for crude oil markets that has the particularity to feature a regime-switching price of variance-risk. While preserving tractability, this model allows us to capture the episodes of negative and positive variance risk premium. A two-state...
