A Lottery-Demand-Based Explanation of the Beta Anomaly
The low (high) abnormal returns of stocks with high (low) beta, which we refer to as the beta anomaly, is one of the most persistent anomalies in empirical asset pricing research. This article demonstrates that investors’ demand for lottery-like stocks is an important driver of the beta anomaly. The beta anomaly is no longer detected when beta-sorted portfolios are neutralized to lottery demand, regression specifications control for lottery demand, or factor models include a lottery demand factor. The beta anomaly is concentrated in stocks with low levels of institutional ownership and it exists only when the price impact of lottery demand is concentrated in high-beta stocks.

Insights into the Lottery Ticket Hypothesis and Iterative Magnitude Pruning
Lottery ticket hypothesis for deep neural networks emphasizes the importance of initialization used to re-train the sparser networks obtained using the iterative magnitude pruning process. An explanation for why the spec…
Adversarial Anomaly Detection using Gaussian Priors and Nonlinear Anomaly Scores
Anomaly detection in imbalanced datasets is a frequent and crucial problem, especially in the medical domain where retrieving and labeling irregularities is often expensive. By combining the generative stability of a $\b…

We present a framework for analyzing the near miss effect in lotteries. A decision maker (DM) facing a lottery, falsely interprets losing outcomes that are close to winning ones, as a sign that success is within reach. A…
Hypothesis Class Determines Explanation: Why Accurate Models Disagree on Feature Attribution
The assumption that prediction-equivalent models produce equivalent explanations underlies many practices in explainable AI, including model selection, auditing, and regulatory evaluation. In this work, we show that this…
