Abstract:Throughout the financial literature, there is a great deal of debate about the nature of investors’ risk preferences. In an ever-changing world, the main schools of knowledge discuss the constant or dynamic basis of these preferences. Based on an exhaustive review of the subject of risk aversion, this paper contributes to filling the gap that exists in the literature on the risk aversion parameter that best fits the investors’ behavior toward risk. The main determinants of risk attitude are examined and the di… Show more
“…Muir (2017) shows that the risk premium increases substantially in financial crises, and the asset price decline in financial crises is substantially larger than the decline in fundamentals so that expected returns going forward are large. Diaz and Esparcia (2019) explore this nature of time‐varying risk aversion and relate it to macroeconomic factors, investor sentiment, and behavioral factors. Earlier in Section 4, both the fundamentals (surplus ratios) and consumer sentiment are shown to increase the Sharpe ratios in recessionary markets.…”
Habits and sentiment are important psychological behaviors in asset pricing. In this article I nest consumer sentiment as a risk factor into the Campbell-Cochrane (CC) habit model and examine its impact on asset prices. The model provides an economic mechanism for the pricing of sentiment risk through its impact on habit sensitivity and equilibrium habit levels but finds its market price of risk much lower than fundamentals. The additional sentiment factor does not improve the CC model, with both models returning a matched moments error of 12% from 1980Q1 to 2021Q4.The sentiment factor, however, subsumes risk aversion with a lower resulting risk coefficient than the CC model without sentiment. Furthermore, the model shows that during the COVID period, the risk premium was driven more by consumption growth than sentiment.

“…A 5% risk premium would be the effect of this. Depending on their level of risk aversion, each investors determine their own risk premium [2]. With a stated risk premium and risk-free rate, the formula can be rearranged to determine the anticipated return on an investment.…”
Section: Risk Premium Application In Financementioning
Stock market risk premiums not only influence corporate finance and investment management decisions but also serve as key inputs for numerous financial theory models. A deeper and more comprehensive knowledge of equity risk premiums has emerged as a result of developments in the theoretical research on equity premiums conducted in the West. One of the most active areas of research expands on the standard model's excessively robust assumptions to explore why the standard C-CAPM model does not adequately explain the reality premium. Through the use of several instances and financial data, the author of this essay investigates the feasibility of developing a risk premium prediction model based on risk predictability. The outcomes of several attempts demonstrate the significance of the risk premium prediction models built using a fair selection of indicators, as well as the satisfactory theoretical performance of the dynamic trading strategies developed using the models. Dynamic trading techniques have not, however, been tested in real markets; as a result, this needs to be acknowledged and addressed in the upcoming study.
“…In this work, a static risk aversion factor is considered. Using a risk aversion factor function can improve the efficiency of the model results [50][51][52][53][54][55].…”
Section: Conclusion and Research Prospectsmentioning
This study considers a time-consistent multi-period rolling portfolio optimization issue in the context of a fuzzy situation. Rolling optimization with a risk aversion component attempts to separate the time periods and psychological effects of one’s investment in a mathematical model. Furthermore, a resilient portfolio selection may be attained by taking into account fuzzy scenarios. Credibilistic entropy of fuzzy returns is used to measure portfolio risk because entropy, as a measure of risk, is not dependent on any certain sort of symmetric membership function of stock returns and may be estimated using nonmetric data. Mathematical modeling is performed to compare the Rolling Model (RM) and the Unified Model (UM). Two empirical studies from the Tehran stock market (10 stocks from April 2017 to April 2019) and the global stock market (20 stocks from April 2021 to April 2023) are utilized to illustrate the applicability of the suggested strategy. The findings reveal that RM can limit the risk of the portfolio at each time, but the portfolio’s return is smaller than that of UM. Furthermore, the suggested models outperform the standard deterministic model.
