The idiosyncratic volatility puzzle and mergers and acquisitions activity
This paper examines whether the puzzling negative relationship between idiosyncratic volatility and next month performance is affected by the intensity of merger and acquisition (M&A) activity in the market. Our results show that the idiosyncratic volatility puzzle is stronger in periods of high M&A activity than in periods of low M&A activity. Further analysis shows that the negative relations...
متن کاملThe Idiosyncratic Volatility Puzzle: Time Trend or Speculative Episodes?
Campbell, Lettau, Malkiel, and Xu (2001) document a positive trend in idiosyncratic volatility during the 1962–1997 period. We show that by 2003 volatility falls back to pre-1990s levels. Furthermore, we show that the increase and subsequent reversal is concentrated among firms with low stock prices and high retail ownership. This evidence suggests that the increase in idiosyncratic volatility ...
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...
متن کاملMacro - Finance
Macro-finance addresses the link between asset prices and economic fluctuations. Many models reflect the same rough idea: the market’s ability to bear risk varies over time, larger in good times, and less in bad times. Models achieve this similar result by quite different mechanisms, and I contrast their strengths and weaknesses. I outline how macro-finance models may illuminate macroeconomics,...
متن کاملDissecting the Idiosyncratic Volatility Anomaly
The finding that stocks with high idiosyncratic volatility tend to have low future returns, as first documented in Ang, Hodrick, Xing, and Zhang (2006), has been dubbed as the idiosyncratic volatility anomaly in the finance literature. Several studies have since explored various potential explanations of the anomalous relation between idiosyncratic volatility and stock returns. Some studies eve...
