Reference-Dependent Preferences and the Risk-Return Trade-off*
This paper studies the cross-sectional risk-return trade-off in the stock market. A fundamental principle in finance is the positive relation between risk and expected return, whereas recent empirical evidence suggests the opposite.

Second, using simple rolling regressions and goodness of fit me...
