Abstract
We find that the beta anomaly in the Chinese stock market is mainly driven by behavioral effects measured by lottery demand or idiosyncratic risk. The betting against volatility factor that is closely related to behavioral effects produces significant positive alpha, while the alpha of the betting against correlation factor related to leverage constraints is insignificant. When a lottery demand or an idiosyncratic risk factor is added to the well-established factor models, the beta anomaly disappears.
