The relation between sentiment and returns is path dependent—short-term increases in sentiment precede strong positive returns, while prolonged periods of increasing sentiment precede negative returns. Positive short-run returns are consistent with bubble dynamics and mitigate the backwards induction conundrum described by Abreu and Brunnermeier (2003). Our results hold for the market portfolio, and are especially strong for opaque portfolios with high levels of uncertainty, as well as portfolios with greater market frictions that limit arbitrage.10aFinance1 aBerger, Dave1 aTurtle, Harry1 aEmptyAuthNode u/biblio/sentiment-bubbles00624nas a2200157 4500008004100000245012700041210006900168260000900237300001000246490000700256653001200263100001700275700002700292700001600319856013100335 2013 eng d00aIs the diversification benefit of frontier markets realizable by mean-variance investors?

The distance measure identifies periods of event-driven stress, and not necessarily low returns. CAPM betas estimated from normal sample periods explain vary little variation in cross-sectional returns. However, betas estimated from turbulent subperiods explain a large proportion of full-sample returns. Market betas for small and value portfolios increase during turbulent periods, indicating that the risk of these portfolios is greater than indicated by standard betas, and suggesting an explanation for these anomalies.10aFinance1 aBerger, Dave u/biblio/financial-turbulence-and-beta-estimation01069nas a2200157 4500008004100000245008700041210006900128260000900197300001400206490000700220520051000227653001200737100001700749700002100766856012400787 2012 eng d00aCross-sectional performance and investor sentiment in a multiple risk factor model0 aCrosssectional performance and investor sentiment in a multiple  c2012 a1107-11210 v363 aThe impact of investor sentiment on stock prices varies in the cross-section.

Our measure indicates an increasing likelihood of market crashes. The conditional probability of market crashes increases substantially following increases of our risk measure. High levels of our risk measure indicate the probability of a global crash is greater than the probability of local crash. That is, conditional on high levels of systemic risk, the probability of a severe crash across multiple markets is larger than the probability of a crash within a smaller number of markets.10aFinance1 aBerger, Dave1 aPukthuanthong, Kuntara u/biblio/market-fragility-and-international-market-crashes-001075nas a2200145 4500008004100000245005600041210005600097260000900153490000700162520061200169653001200781100001700793700002100810856009800831 2011 eng d00aEmerging market crises and US equity market returns0 aEmerging market crises and US equity market returns c20110 v223 aWe find contagion effects are present in US small size portfolios during emerging market crises due to risk and liquidity concerns. Investors display flight from risk during emerging market crises, and as a result, safer larger stocks exhibit positive abnormal returns. We find little evidence of contagion in aggregate excess US market returns, indicating studies that focus on national aggregates may miss important within market dynamics during emerging market crises. The international dynamics that we document have important implications for investors, even when they may have limited global exposure.10aFinance1 aBerger, Dave1 aTurtle, Harry, J u/biblio/emerging-market-crises-and-us-equity-market-returns-001198nas a2200169 4500008004100000245005600041210005600097260000900153300001200162490000800174520068100182653001200863100001700875700002700892700001600919856009300935 2011 eng d00aInternational diversification with frontier markets0 aInternational diversification with frontier markets c2011 a227-2420 v1013 aWe provide an analysis of frontier market equities with respect to world market integration and diversification. Principal component results reveal that frontier markets exhibit low levels of integration. In contrast with developed and emerging markets, frontier markets offer no indication of increasing integration through time. Furthermore, individual frontier market countries do not exhibit consistent rates of changing integration. Structural break tests identify breakpoints in integration, as well as integration dynamics across countries. We show that frontier markets have low integration with the world market and thereby offer significant diversification benefits.10aFinance1 aBerger, Dave1 aPukthuanthong, Kuntara1 aYang, Jimmy u/biblio/international-diversification-frontier-markets-201114nas a2200145 4500008004100000245006100041210006100102260000900163300001200172490000700184520064900191653001200840100001700852856009900869 2011 eng d00aTesting the CAPM across observed and fundamental returns0 aTesting the CAPM across observed and fundamental returns c2011 a625-6360 v213 aThe CAPM describes a relationship between risk and expected forward-looking returns. Existing research tests the model using realized returns as the proxy for ex-ante expectations. However, recent studies cast doubt on the ability of ex-post observed returns to proxy for ex-ante expectations. Using an alternative specification to proxy for investor expectations, I test the CAPM in the context of pricing size and book/market equities. The results indicate that the CAPM retains additional merit with an improved measure of expectations. However, the value premium appears large and significant across both specifications of expected returns.10aFinance1 aBerger, Dave u/biblio/testing-capm-across-observed-and-fundamental-returns-000469nas a2200133 4500008004100000245005600041210005600097260001700153653001200170100001700182700002700199700001600226856009300242 2010 eng d00aInternational diversification with frontier markets0 aInternational diversification with frontier markets aTaipeic201010aFinance1 aBerger, Dave1 aPukthuanthong, Kuntara1 aYang, Jimmy u/biblio/international-diversification-frontier-markets-300481nas a2200133 4500008004100000245005600041210005600097260002900153653001200182100001700194700001600211700002700227856009300254 2010 eng d00aInternational Diversification with Frontier Markets0 aInternational Diversification with Frontier Markets aNew York, New Yorkc201010aFinance1 aBerger, Dave1 aYang, Jimmy1 aPukthuanthong, Kuntara u/biblio/international-diversification-frontier-markets-401162nas a2200133 4500008004100000245007200041210006900113260000900182490000700191520069100198653001200889100001700901856011000918 2010 eng d00aInvestor perceptions and volatility within the risk-return tradeoff0 aInvestor perceptions and volatility within the riskreturn tradeo c20100 v203 aConditional asset pricing models within the risk-return literature describe a relation between expected risk and return for period t+1, with expectations formed during period t. Existing risk estimates in the literature are formed using backwards looking measures during period t, which are projected forward for period t+1.

Our approach yields second moments that are free from measurement error and not influenced by a specified model for expected returns. Supporting the permanent income hypothesis, we find risk aversion responds to consumption smoothing behavior. As income increases, or as the ratio of consumption-to-income falls, relative risk aversion decreases. We also document variation in risk aversion across portfolios: risk aversion is highest for small and value portfolios.10aFinance1 aBerger, Dave1 aTurtle, Harry, J uhttp://www.blackwellpublishing.com/journal.asp?ref=0270-259200363nas a2200109 4500008004100000245004500041210004500086260000900131653001200140100001700152856008400169 2008 eng d00aTime Variability in Market Risk Aversion0 aTime Variability in Market Risk Aversion c200810aFinance1 aBerger, Dave u/biblio/time-variability-market-risk-aversion-300363nas a2200109 4500008004100000245004500041210004500086260000900131653001200140100001700152856008400169 2007 eng d00aTime variability in market risk aversion0 aTime variability in market risk aversion c200710aFinance1 aBerger, Dave u/biblio/time-variability-market-risk-aversion-4
