Previous studies document a relationship between gambling activity at the aggregate level and investments in securities with lottery-like features. We combine data on individual gambling consumption with portfolio holdings and trading records to examine whether gambling and trading act as...

We show theoretically that the weak transmission of beliefs to actions induces a strong bias in basic asset pricing tests. In particular, expected returns can appear to decline in risk when investors weakly transmit their payoff expectations into willingness to pay. We experimentally test this...

I find that the index of geopolitical risk (GPR) is significantly associated with both the extensive and intensive margins of stock market participation decisions.

We find that aggregate profitability and asset investment exhibit robust joint predictive power for aggregate excess stock returns, consistent with the investment model of Hou, Xue, and Zhang (henceforth HXZ, 2015). These results provide out-of-sample empirical support for HXZ, as the same...

Firms that are more central invest more in equilibrium. Central firms are exposed to larger idiosyncratic shocks that propagate in the production network. Their incentive to engage in precautionary saving is larger, leading to larger investment. In the data, I find support for this prediction,...
