| Tiivistelmä: | This study offers empirical support for theoretical models allowing for time-varying rare disaster risk. Based on a database of 447 international political crises during the period 1918-2006, a crisis index showing substantial variation over time is created. Shifts in this crisis index, our proxy for changes in perceived disaster likelihood, have a substantial impact on both the mean and volatility of world stock market returns. Crisis risk correlates positively with the earningsĀprice ratio and the dividend yield. Cross-sectional tests also indicate that crisis risk is priced: more crisis risk sensitive industries yield higher returns. |
