One of the weather variables studied is temperature. The previous studies considered that the temperature influences on asset returns through changes in investor mood. There are few studies that incorporate a risk factor to analyze the effects of temperature changes on asset returns. We extract positive and negative extreme temperature changes to design three temperature factors. By a cross-section asset pricing model, we find evidence that temperature shocks (hot and cold) show a significant monthly risk premium and skewness for temperature changes.enAtribución-NoComercial 4.0 Internacional53 Ciencias Económicasartículoasset pricing modelmultifactor modeltemperature factortemperature shocks
