BAFI Academic Seminarhttps://weatherhead.case.edu/events/2016/04/08/bafi-academic-seminarIn this paper, we propose two asymmetry measures of stock returns. In contrast to the usual skewness measure, ours are based on the distribution function of the data instead of just the third moment. While it is inconclusive with the skewness, we find that, with our new measures, greater upside asymmetries imply lower average returns in the cross section of stocks, which is consistent with theoretical models such as those proposed by Barberis and Huang (2008) and Han and Hirshleifer (2015).
