Note(s): This table shows the descriptive statistics (Panel A) and the correlation matrix (Panel B) for the cross-section of the left-tail risk proxies and firm-specific characteristics. The time-series average was computed for each stock to obtain one representative value, and then cross-sectional statistics were calculated. The sample period covers January 1998 to May 2020, and 3,626,937 firm-day observations were used in the analysis. The definitions of all variables are given in Section 2
