Abstract

This research evaluates the role of co-skewness and co-kurtosis as measures of risk on returns at Tehran Stock Exchange. For this purpose a sample of 96 companies listed in the stock market for the period of 1380-1392 is tested. The method used in this research is the two stage Fama Macbeth cross section regression method (1973). In order to clarify the affect of higher moments the effects of size, book to market value, momentum and beta is also controlled. There is weak evidence that co-skewness is priced. In return there was no relationship between co-kurtosis and stock return at Tehran Stock Exchange market.
