      An important assumption underlying the designation of some insurers as systemically important is that their overlapping portfolio holdings can result in common selling. We measure the overlap in holdings using cosine ...
    • Predictability and the Cross-Section of Expected Returns: A Challenge for Asset Pricing Models 

      Schlag, Christian; Semenischev, Michael; Thimme, Julian (2021-01-22)
      "Many modern macro finance models imply that excess returns on arbitrary assets are predictable via the price-dividend ratio and the variance risk premium of the aggregate stock market. We propose a simple empirical test ...
