Book excerpt: Generous consideration has been pursued to the empirical testing of multi factor assets pricing models. However, literature provides mixed kind of evidences in the support of multi factor assets pricing model. This study reviews 20 research articles based on multi factor assets pricing model and examines 25 research papers based on the empirically testing of multi factor assets pricing model published during 2001 and 2018 to study the multi factor assets pricing model in the Indian context as well as foreign context. CAPM is a popular normative model used by researchers to explain the relationship between risk and expected return of a risky asset which was developed by Sharpe (1964) and Lintner (1965). This model takes only one risk factor which is the excess market portfolio return (Market premium). Because of poor performance of CAPM in explaining realized returns, the Fama and French three factor asset pricing model (1993) was developed. Fama and French (1993) documented the size effect and the value effect that were not included in the CAPM, generally known as CAPM anomalies. Mark M. Carhart (1997) developed the Carhart four factor model. It is an extension of the FF three factor model with one another factor i.e. momentum factor effect for asset pricing of stocks. In view of the limitations of the earlier three-factor model, Fama and French five-factor asset pricing model (2014) was developed. Fama and French (2014) came with profitability pattern and investment pattern in average stock return along with the market premium, size premium and value premium. This paper may be an expedient source of information to the academics, financial analyst and researchers to understand the asset pricing model.

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.

This book was released on 2010-11-18 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem addressed in this dissertation research was the inability of the single-factor capital asset pricing model (CAPM) to identify relevant risk factors that investors consider in forming their return expectations for investing in individual stocks. Identifying the appropriate risk factors is important for investment decision making and is pertinent to the formation of stocks' prices in the stock market. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine theoretical and empirical validity of the CAPM and to develop and test a multifactor model to address and resolve the empirical shortcomings of the single-factor CAPM. To verify the empirical validity of the standard CAPM and of the multifactor model, five hypotheses were developed and tested against historical monthly data for U.S. public companies. Testing the CAPM hypothesis revealed that the explanatory power of the overall stock market rate of return in explaining individual stock's expected rates of return is very weak, suggesting the existence of other risk factors. Testing of the other hypotheses verified that the implied volatility of the overall market as a systematic risk factor and the companies' size and financial leverage as nonsystematic risk factors are important in determining stock's expected returns and investors should consider these factors in their investment decisions. The findings of this research have important implications for social change. The outcome of this study can change the way individual and institutional investors as well as corporations make investment decisions and thus change the equilibrium prices in the stock market. These changes in turn could lead to significant changes in the resource allocation in the economy, in the economy's production capacity and production composition, and in the employment structure of the society.

Download or read book Multi moment Asset Allocation and Pricing Models written by Emmanuel Jurczenko and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-10-02 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While mainstream financial theories and applications assume that asset returns are normally distributed and individual preferences are quadratic, the overwhelming empirical evidence shows otherwise. Indeed, most of the asset returns exhibit “fat-tails” distributions and investors exhibit asymmetric preferences. These empirical findings lead to the development of a new area of research dedicated to the introduction of higher order moments in portfolio theory and asset pricing models. Multi-moment asset pricing is a revolutionary new way of modeling time series in finance which allows various degrees of long-term memory to be generated. It allows risk and prices of risk to vary through time enabling the accurate valuation of long-lived assets. This book presents the state-of-the art in multi-moment asset allocation and pricing models and provides many new developments in a single volume, collecting in a unified framework theoretical results and applications previously scattered throughout the financial literature. The topics covered in this comprehensive volume include: four-moment individual risk preferences, mathematics of the multi-moment efficient frontier, coherent asymmetric risks measures, hedge funds asset allocation under higher moments, time-varying specifications of (co)moments and multi-moment asset pricing models with homogeneous and heterogeneous agents. Written by leading academics, Multi-moment Asset Allocation and Pricing Models offers a unique opportunity to explore the latest findings in this new field of research.

This book was released on 2023-07-10 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,0, , language: English, abstract: This study is concerned with an empirical analysis of asset pricing. More specifically, this paper examines whether multifactor asset pricing models are able to explain variation in REIT returns in the US and Japan. In addition to traditional multifactor models, an Alternative Four-Factor Model (AFF) was developed considering net profit margin as an additional risk factor. Thence, this paper seeks to provide valuable information for investors and fund managers regarding their indirect real estate investment selection. Using a sample period between July 1994 (US) / July 2011 (Japan) to December 2020, rigorous multiple-time-series regression is applied to calculate factor loadings for each risk factor and the corresponding alpha values of each model to evaluate their effectiveness in explaining variation and cross-section of REIT returns. Most studies on asset pricing models focus on size and value sorted portfolios as dependent variables. This paper broadens the approach with four other double sorted test portfolios to check the robustness of each single factor to explain return anomalies. Results show that market premium and size premium represent risk factors for US-REITs, whereas market premium and value premium are suitable risk factors for Japanese-REITs. The momentum factor does not capture risk and is insignificant in both markets. The study shows low correlations between traditional and REIT specific as well as between US and Japanese risk factors. This suggests that firstly risk factors are country specific and secondly that they are asset specific. Moreover, the Fama-French Three-Factor Model (FF3) clearly outperforms the CAPM, while the Carhart Four-Factor Model (CH4) marginally improves the explanatory power over the FF3. This is observed in both markets. Outcomes demonstrate that the Alternative Four-Factor Model (AAF) does not improve prediction power for returns of Japanese-REITs compared to the FF3 and CH4. On the contrary, results are ambiguous concerning US-REITs. While the additional risk factor, net profit margin, generates a negative return, the model is superior to the FF3 and CH4 in terms of explaining variation and cross-section of returns.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes a new capital asset pricing model dubbed the ZCAPM that outperforms other popular models in empirical tests using US stock returns. The ZCAPM is derived from Fischer Black’s well-known zero-beta CAPM, itself a more general form of the famous capital asset pricing model (CAPM) by 1990 Nobel Laureate William Sharpe and others. It is widely accepted that the CAPM has failed in its theoretical relation between market beta risk and average stock returns, as numerous studies have shown that it does not work in the real world with empirical stock return data. The upshot of the CAPM’s failure is that many new factors have been proposed by researchers. However, the number of factors proposed by authors has steadily increased into the hundreds over the past three decades. This new ZCAPM is a path-breaking asset pricing model that is shown to outperform popular models currently in practice in finance across different test assets and time periods. Since asset pricing is central to the field of finance, it can be broadly employed across many areas, including investment analysis, cost of equity analyses, valuation, corporate decision making, pension portfolio management, etc. The ZCAPM represents a revolution in finance that proves the CAPM as conceived by Sharpe and others is alive and well in a new form, and will certainly be of interest to academics, researchers, students, and professionals of finance, investing, and economics.

This book was released on 2019-09-10 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Economics - Finance, grade: 1.7, University of Duisburg-Essen (Faculty of Business and Economics), language: English, abstract: The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), which is developed by Harry Markowitz, lacks on empirical validation and is not economically fully plausible. By only considering a single period within the CAPM, Merton tried to improve the model by implementing different intertemporal assumptions. This paper focuses on the analysis, if the lack of the CAPM can be improved by using the assumptions of the ICAPM and if the eight investigated models are in the sense of Merton's assumptions. The first chapter reviews a short explanation of the classical CAPM and his critics, followed by Merton's intertemporal CAPM and his assumptions in the next chapter. Additionally, there were models developed, trying to be economically plausible by considering the ICAPM main assumptions, which are presented in the second chapter. A different way to develop an empirical better fitting CAPM is by using empirical motivated state variables. Fama & French started to take this approach by developing the three-factor-model (FF3). A lot of researchers were influenced by the FF3 and made their own version of a multifactor model by implementing variables. Even Fama & French enhanced their three-factor-model by adding further variables. In the third section there is the forecasting power of the four ICAPM models and the four empirical motivated multifactor models on the US market data and on the European market data compared. Then follows an examination if these models can be determined in the sense of the ICAPM restrictions. The last chapter concludes the results.

Download or read book Multifactor Models Do Not Explain Deviations from the CAPM written by Archie Craig MacKinlay and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A number of studies have presented evidence rejecting the validity of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). This evidence has spawned research into possible explanations. These explanations can be divided into two main categories - the risk based alternatives and the nonrisk based alternatives. The risk based category includes multifactor asset pricing models developed under the assumptions of investor rationality and perfect capital markets. The nonrisk based category includes biases introduced in the empirical methodology, the existence of market frictions, or explanations arising from the presence of irrational investors. The distinction between the two categories is important for asset pricing applications such as estimation of the cost of capital. This paper proposes to distinguish between the two categories using ex ante analysis. A framework is developed showing that ex ante one should expect that CAPM deviations due to missing risk factors will be very difficult to statistically detect. In contrast, deviations resulting from nonrisk based sources will be easy to detect. Examination of empirical results leads to the conclusion that the risk based alternatives is not the whole story for the CAPM deviations. The implication of this conclusion is that the adoption of empirically developed multifactor asset pricing models may be premature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,7, University of Hannover (Institut für Finanzwirtschaft und Rohstoffmärkte), language: English, abstract: In this paper, we examine how various modern multifactor models, such as the Carhart factor model, five-factor model and its complement six-factor model by Fama and French, the q-factor model by Hou, Wue and Zhang, and the mispricing factor model by Stambaugh and Yuan perform in the German stock market. It is discernible that, depending on the application model, like factor spanning tests, different sortings, return anomalies, sector- and equity fund investigation, they often provide quite similar explanatory power, while in individual cases sometimes one and sometimes the other model performs better. The underlying factors contribute differently to the explanatory power depending on the time period. Thus, in case of doubt, the six-factor model is preferable, as it is the most versatile model. Since the establishment of the capital asset pricing model as a cornerstone of modern capital market theory in the 1960s, new investigations and studies have been built on this model on an ongoing basis. This continuously leads to extensions and modifications of the asset pricing models since then. These models can be used in various ways, for example to explain the pricing of risky financial assets under restrictive assumptions or to gain important insights into the relationship between expected return and risk of securities. These can be used in various ways, for example to explain the pricing of risky financial assets under restrictive assumptions or to gain important insights into the relationship between expected return and risk of securities. In this paper, we aim to answer the overarching research question of how modern asset pricing models perform for the German stock market. For this purpose, we first discuss the characteristics of the German stock market, followed by the milestones of the development of factor models, their empirical evidence and their factors, as well as internationally known return anomalies. In the subsequent part, five modern asset pricing models are tested in different scenarios of the German stock market, including factor spanning tests, different sortings, anomalies, sectors and in equity funds. For this purpose, various analytical methods are used and performed with the software “Stata”. Finally, the comprehensive results are summarized and concluded.

This book was released on 2011-10-30 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and the mean-variance (M-V) rule, which are based on classic expected utility theory, have been heavily criticized theoretically and empirically. The advent of behavioral economics, prospect theory and other psychology-minded approaches in finance challenges the rational investor model from which CAPM and M-V derive. Haim Levy argues that the tension between the classic financial models and behavioral economics approaches is more apparent than real. This book aims to relax the tension between the two paradigms. Specifically, Professor Levy shows that although behavioral economics contradicts aspects of expected utility theory, CAPM and M-V are intact in both expected utility theory and cumulative prospect theory frameworks. There is furthermore no evidence to reject CAPM empirically when ex-ante parameters are employed. Professionals may thus comfortably teach and use CAPM and behavioral economics or cumulative prospect theory as coexisting paradigms.
