Empirical and theoretical literature robustly indicates that specific risk factors (such as size, value, profitability, investment, momentum, and skewness) drive asset pricing models and help explain cross-sectional variations in returns.

The analysis

The claim posits that specific risk factors drive asset pricing models. Numerous papers in the retrieved set (e.g., 0, 3, 7, 8, 9) explicitly investigate, identify, or utilize specific factors (such as consumer confidence, consumption/production metrics, Fama-French factors, momentum, and skewness) within asset pricing frameworks. There are no papers refuting the existence of risk factors, though some discuss anomalies or relative performance. Therefore, the claim is supported.
