and that researchers should use beta as a risk control in empirical tests. Further, we show that because the relation between beta and returns is U-shaped, i.e. high betas predict both very high and very low returns, linear cross-sectional regression models, e.g. Fama-MacBeth regressions, will fail on average to reject the null hypothesis that beta does not capture risk. This result explains why previous studies find no significant cross-sectional relation between beta and returns. Key words: Market
