The aim of this paper is to assess the existence and the sign of moment risk premia. To this end, we use methodologies ranging from swap contracts to portfolio sorting techniques in order to obtain robust estimates. We provide empirical evidence for the European stock market for the 2008-2015 time period. Evidence is found of a negative volatility risk premium and a positive skewness risk premium, which are robust to the different techniques and cannot be explained by common risk-factors such as market excess return, size, book-to-market and momentum. Kurtosis risk is not priced in our dataset. Furthermore, we find evidence of a positive risk premium in relation to the firm’s size.
