Geography and Asset Prices: Evidence from Ecological Regions 

This paper studies whether natural geography matters for asset prices using ecological regions (ecoregions) — persistent boundaries where the type and quality of environmental resources are similar. Firms within the same ecoregion comove in fundamentals and stock returns beyond city, industry, and firm effects. Returns also diffuse slowly. A ‘nature-momentum’ strategy generates a risk-adjusted annualized alpha of 11.3%. An exogenous shock using hurricane tracks illustrates how ecological functions rationalize this evidence. The results imply that nature has economically meaningful boundaries, much like cities and industries, suggesting a new geographic dimension to asset pricing.
