متن کاملAGGREGATE IDIOSYNCRATIC VOLATILITY Geert
We examine aggregate idiosyncratic volatility in 23 developed equity markets, measured using various methodologies, and we find no evidence of upward trends. Instead, idiosyncratic volatility appears to be well described by a stationary autoregressive process that occasionally switches into a higher-variance regime that has relatively short duration. We also document that idiosyncratic volatili...

Several studies have since explored various potential explanations of the anomalous relation between idiosyncratic volatility and stock returns. Some studies eve...

Stocks with higher idiosyncratic volatility also experience quicker and larger reversals. These findings are consistent with the view that momentum profits are attributable to underreaction to firm-specific information. Our findi...

Following Mankiw (1986), I then show that idiosyncratic risk can help to en...
