Our results show that the proposed model captures a large fraction of the crosssectional variation of excess returns for a wide range of market anomaly portfolios. Furthermore, while the price of risk for ambiguity is positive and significant for the vast majority of assets under study, macroeconomic volatility yields ambiguous outcomes, although it significantly increases the explanatory power of the model for specific assets. Our results suggest that macroeconomic volatility and ambiguity complement each other in explaining the cross-sectional behavior of stock returns.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/AmbiguityMacroeconomic volatilityVintage consumption dataDynamic asset pricingEconomic turmoilinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article10.1016/j.najef.2023.101909info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
