Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper derives a generalized multiple-factor asset pricing model using only the assumption of no arbitrage. This generalization differs from the standard multiple-factor pricing models in two ways. First, similar to standard models, a traded asset's expected return is linear in a finite number of traded risk-factor returns. Different from standard models, however, this model allows an infinite number of distinct risk-factors in the economy, where any asset's return depends on only a finite number of these. Different assets will, in general, depend on a different finite set of risk-factors. Second, positive alphas imply arbitrage opportunities and not just abnormal expected returns. This model can potentially explain many of the observed differences between existing multiple-factor asset pricing model implications and the empirical evidence.

Download or read book Empirical Asset Pricing written by Wayne Ferson and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introduction to the theory and methods of empirical asset pricing, integrating classical foundations with recent developments. This book offers a comprehensive advanced introduction to asset pricing, the study of models for the prices and returns of various securities. The focus is empirical, emphasizing how the models relate to the data. The book offers a uniquely integrated treatment, combining classical foundations with more recent developments in the literature and relating some of the material to applications in investment management. It covers the theory of empirical asset pricing, the main empirical methods, and a range of applied topics. The book introduces the theory of empirical asset pricing through three main paradigms: mean variance analysis, stochastic discount factors, and beta pricing models. It describes empirical methods, beginning with the generalized method of moments (GMM) and viewing other methods as special cases of GMM; offers a comprehensive review of fund performance evaluation; and presents selected applied topics, including a substantial chapter on predictability in asset markets that covers predicting the level of returns, volatility and higher moments, and predicting cross-sectional differences in returns. Other chapters cover production-based asset pricing, long-run risk models, the Campbell-Shiller approximation, the debate on covariance versus characteristics, and the relation of volatility to the cross-section of stock returns. An extensive reference section captures the current state of the field. The book is intended for use by graduate students in finance and economics; it can also serve as a reference for professionals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 1,3, University of Cooperative Education, 31 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: The objective of this paper is to give an overview of the most important movements of the complex area of asset pricing. This will be tried by logically structuring and building up the topic from its origins, the Capital Asset Pricing Model, and then over its main points of critique, in order to arrive at the different options developed by financial science that try to resolve those problematic aspects. Due to the complexity of this subject and the limited scope of this paper, obviously it will not be possible to discuss each model or movement in depth. Coherently, the aim is to point out the main thoughts of each aspect discussed. For further information, especially concerning the deeper mathematical backgrounds and derivations of the models, the author would like to refer the reader to the books mentioned in this paper. Many of those works, finance journal publications and the literature on asset pricing in general, set their focus on different parts of this paper, which again underlines the complexity in terms of scientific scope and intellectual and mathematical intricacy of this topic.

Download or read book An Application of Factor Pricing Models to the Polish Stock Market written by Adam Zaremba and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We evaluate and compare the performance of four popular factor pricing models: the capital asset pricing model (Sharpe 1964), the Fama and French (1993) three-factor model, Carhart's (1997) four-factor model, and the five-factor model of Fama and French (2015). We aim to establish which of these models is most applicable in the Polish stock market. To do so, we employ a battery of tests -- cross-sectional regressions, examination of one-way and two-way sorted portfolios, tests of monotonic relationships, and factor redundancy tests -- and apply them to a sample of more than 1100 stocks for the years 2000-2018. The results indicate that the four-factor model outperforms the other models; it has the greatest explanatory power for cross-sectional returns and is therefore well-suited for asset pricing in Poland.

Download or read book Testing for Alpha in Linear Factor Pricing Models with a Large Number of Securities written by M. Hashem Pesaran and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper proposes a novel test of zero pricing errors for the linear factor pricing model when the number of securities, N, can be large relative to the time dimension, T, of the return series. The test is based on Student t tests of individual securities and has a number of advantages over the existing standardised Wald type tests. It allows for non-Gaussianity and general forms of weakly cross correlated errors. It does not require estimation of an invertible error covariance matrix, it is much faster to implement, and is valid even if N is much larger than T. Monte Carlo evidence shows that the proposed test performs remarkably well even when T = 60 and N = 5;000. The test is applied to monthly returns on securities in the S&P 500 at the end of each month in real time, using rolling windows of size 60. Statistically significant evidence against Sharpe-Lintner CAPM and Fama-French three factor models are found mainly during the recent financial crisis. Also we find a significant negative correlation between a twelve-months moving average p-values of the test and excess returns of long/short equity strategies (relative to the return on S&P 500) over the period November 1994 to June 2015, suggesting that abnormal profits are earned during episodes of market inefficiencies.

Download or read book A Dynamic Test of Conditional Asset Pricing Models written by Daniele Bianchi and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I use Bayesian tools to develop a dynamic testing methodology for conditional factor pricing models, in which time-varying betas, idiosyncratic risks, and factors risk premia are jointly estimated in a single step. Based on this framework, I test over fifty years of post-war monthly data some of the most common factor pricing models on size, book-to-market, and momentum deciles portfolios, both in the time series and in the cross section. The empirical results show that, a conditional specification of the recent five-factor model of Fama and French (2015) outperforms a set of theory-based competing linear pricing models along several dimensions.

Download or read book Profitability and Investment Based Factor Pricing Models written by Brendan Elliot and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The level of firm investment, along with firm profitability, has been shown to be empirically powerful asset pricing factors in the US and other markets. The q-factor model of Hou, Xue, and Zhang (2014), and the 5-factor model of Fama and French (2014a), both rely on factors capturing the interrelationship of firm investment and profitability. The models struggle in relation to small, high-investing and low-profitability stocks, a characteristic that is common to Australian firms. Using a sample of Australian stocks over the sample period of 1975-2013, we show that the profitability factor is virtually non-existent, despite numerous tests and iterations of the factor. The addition of a profitability factor provides trivial explanatory power when compared to firm size and investment. We interpret these results as evidence that the investment-profitability rationale that underpins both models is incomplete. Further, we confirm the results of Fama and French (2014a), who report that the explanatory power of the HML factor is subsumed when combined with investment and profitability. Finally, we provide the setting for a comparison of the q-factor and 5-factor models. Given our findings regarding the profitability and HML factors, we report no dominant model across a range of testing assets.

Download or read book Evaluating Factor Pricing Models Using High Frequency Panels written by Yoosoon Chang and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper develops a new framework and statistical tools to analyze stock returns using high frequency data. We consider a continuous-time multi-factor model via a continuous-time multivariate regression model incorporating realistic empirical features, such as persistent stochastic volatilities with leverage effects. We find that conventional regression approach often leads to misleading and inconsistent test results. We overcome this by using samples collected at random intervals, which are set by the clock running inversely proportional to the market volatility. We find that the size factor has difficulty in explaining the size-based portfolios, while the book-to-market factor is a valid pricing factor.

Download or read book Complexity in Financial Markets written by Matthieu Cristelli and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-08-28 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tools and methods from complex systems science can have a considerable impact on the way in which the quantitative assessment of economic and financial issues is approached, as discussed in this thesis. First it is shown that the self-organization of financial markets is a crucial factor in the understanding of their dynamics. In fact, using an agent-based approach, it is argued that financial markets’ stylized facts appear only in the self-organized state. Secondly, the thesis points out the potential of so-called big data science for financial market modeling, investigating how web-driven data can yield a picture of market activities: it has been found that web query volumes anticipate trade volumes. As a third achievement, the metrics developed here for country competitiveness and product complexity is groundbreaking in comparison to mainstream theories of economic growth and technological development. A key element in assessing the intangible variables determining the success of countries in the present globalized economy is represented by the diversification of the productive basket of countries. The comparison between the level of complexity of a country's productive system and economic indicators such as the GDP per capita discloses its hidden growth potential.
