Using a β-invariant AD metric, we demonstrate a lower-tail dependence premium that is only 35% of the market risk premium, compared with an upper-tail dependence discount that is 41% of the market risk premium. Lower tail dependence displays a constant price between 1989-2009. Subsequently, we find that return changes in US equities between 2007- 2009 reflected changes in systematic risk and upper-tail dependence. This suggests that both systematic risk and AD should be managed in order to reduce the return impact of market downturns. 讲座人简介： Dr. Jaime Alcock got his Doctor of Philosophy, Grad.
