Abstract
We examine the price of asymmetric dependence (AD) in the cross-section of US equities. Using a ß-invariant AD metric - the adjusted J statistic - we demonstrate that the return premium for AD is approximately 47% of the premium for ß. The premium for lower-tail AD is equivalent to 26% of the market risk premium and has been relatively constant through time. The discount associated with upper-tail AD is 29% of the market risk premium and has been increasing markedly in recent years. Our findings have substantial implications for the cost of capital, investor expectations, portfolio management and performance assessment.
