We argue that arbitrage is limited if rational traders face uncertainty about when their peers will exploit a common arbitrage opportunity. This synchronization risk—which is distinct from noise trader risk and fundamental risk—arises in our model because arbitrageurs become sequentially aware of mispricing and they incur holding costs. We show that rational arbitrageurs ‘‘time the market’’ rat...

Despite abundant evidence that firms’ characteristics predict their asset returns, we know little about how much firms’ asset prices deviate from their true values. Such mispricing could be distinct from observed return predictability if investors have biased beliefs that are not highly correlated with firms’ characteristics. We use a model to estimate the extent of information processing biase...

This paper provides new evidence on the dynamics of equity risk premia in euro area stock markets across country and industry portfolios. We develop and estimate a conditional intertemporal CAPM where returns on aggregate euro area, country and industry portfolios depend on the market risk as well as on the risk that the investment opportunity set changes over time. Prices of risks are time-var...

Objective: The main objective of this research is to explain the accrual anomaly using accruals factor (CMA) and accrual-based factor-mimicking portfolios as well as checking whether accrual anomaly is risk-based or mispricing. According to rational frictionless asset pricing model, the ability of accruals to predict returns should come from the loadings on this accrual factor loading that pred...
