Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Bali, Engle, and Murray have produced a highly accessible introduction to the techniques and evidence of modern empirical asset pricing. This book should be read and absorbed by every serious student of the field, academic and professional.” Eugene Fama, Robert R. McCormick Distinguished Service Professor of Finance, University of Chicago and 2013 Nobel Laureate in Economic Sciences “The empirical analysis of the cross-section of stock returns is a monumental achievement of half a century of finance research. Both the established facts and the methods used to discover them have subtle complexities that can mislead casual observers and novice researchers. Bali, Engle, and Murray’s clear and careful guide to these issues provides a firm foundation for future discoveries.” John Campbell, Morton L. and Carole S. Olshan Professor of Economics, Harvard University “Bali, Engle, and Murray provide clear and accessible descriptions of many of the most important empirical techniques and results in asset pricing.” Kenneth R. French, Roth Family Distinguished Professor of Finance, Tuck School of Business, Dartmouth College “This exciting new book presents a thorough review of what we know about the cross-section of stock returns. Given its comprehensive nature, systematic approach, and easy-to-understand language, the book is a valuable resource for any introductory PhD class in empirical asset pricing.” Lubos Pastor, Charles P. McQuaid Professor of Finance, University of Chicago Empirical Asset Pricing: The Cross Section of Stock Returns is a comprehensive overview of the most important findings of empirical asset pricing research. The book begins with thorough expositions of the most prevalent econometric techniques with in-depth discussions of the implementation and interpretation of results illustrated through detailed examples. The second half of the book applies these techniques to demonstrate the most salient patterns observed in stock returns. The phenomena documented form the basis for a range of investment strategies as well as the foundations of contemporary empirical asset pricing research. Empirical Asset Pricing: The Cross Section of Stock Returns also includes: Discussions on the driving forces behind the patterns observed in the stock market An extensive set of results that serve as a reference for practitioners and academics alike Numerous references to both contemporary and foundational research articles Empirical Asset Pricing: The Cross Section of Stock Returns is an ideal textbook for graduate-level courses in asset pricing and portfolio management. The book is also an indispensable reference for researchers and practitioners in finance and economics. Turan G.

Download or read book The Relevance of the Firm s Leverage as the Only Factor in the Estimation of Systematic Risk written by Julio Sarmiento-Sabogal and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An extensive body of knowledge has been developed around the theoretical relationship between the assumption that support the theory of the cost of capital and those that support the Portfolio-Capital Asset Pricing Model. The main discussion concerning how these theories are related is focused in the use of beta as a measure of systematic risk for valuation purposes in corporate finance. The theory suggests that systematic risk is solely determined in function of the leverage (debt) used by a particular firm, under this premise various studies in corporate finance (especially those concerning firm's valuation methods) have suggested the use of proxy methods for the estimation of unlevered (debt-free) beta in order to calculate a more accurate estimate of the cost of capital of non-traded firms in an easy way. In this paper, we make an empirical test to see the validity of the theoretical assumptions concerning the premise that the unlevered betas of companies that are in the same economic sector, must be equal or at least they must have a similar variance around a grand mean throughout different periods in time. The dataset used for this analysis contains the quarterly financial information and daily closing stock prices of 1008 companies listed in the NYSE from 20 different economic sectors for the period comprehended between the 1st quarter of 1999 to the 4th quarter of 2004. By using ANOVA as our chosen statistical method, we found that in 15 of the 20 economic sectors under scrutiny, there is not sufficient empirical evidence to let us to confirm the premise about the equality and stability of the unlevered betas of a group of companies in the same economic sector. Therefore, this finding led us to conclude that by using a proxy method for estimating systematic debt-free risk, practitioners could be using an erroneous approach given the fact that there is not enough evidence that the unlevered betas for a group of firms in the same economic sector are equal.

Download or read book Accounting and the Investment Opportunity Set written by Ahmed Riahi-Belkaoui and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2000-05-30 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A firm's value consists of its assets-in-place and growth opportunities: its investment opportunity set. IOS plays a major role in determining a firm's corporate and accounting strategies, and how the marketplace reacts to them. Riahi-Belkaoui shows how IOS can be examined, measured, and used as one way to understand the various accounting and nonaccounting strategies espoused by management. His book fills a gap in the literature on this timely and provocative topic, and provides useful knowledge for upper management, academics, and graduate-level students. The importance of the IOS concept is beginning to be acknowledged in the literature of empirical accounting, finance, and management. There, the investment opportunity set is introduced as an explanatory or moderating variable of the relationship between accounting and economic phenomena and various predictor variables. Riahi-Belkaoui explicates a concept of growth opportunities or IOS (Chapter 1) and provides a general model for its measurement (Chapter 2). He shows its role in a general valuation model based on dividend yield and price earnings ratio (Chapter 3), in the relationship between profitability and multinationality (Chapter 4), in the determination of capital structure (Chapter 5), in a general model of international production (Chapter 6), in a general model of corporate disclosure (Chapter 7), in the relationship between systematic risk and multinationality (Chapter 8), in a model of reputation building (Chapter 9), and earnings management (Chapter 10). He goes on to discuss its role in explaining the relative market value compared to the accounting value of a multinational firm in Chapter 11, and in differentiating between the usefulness of accrual and cash flow based on valuation models in Chapter 12.

Download or read book Estimating beta and Cost of Equity Capital for Non traded Transportation Companies written by Sascha Heller and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2014-04-11 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Introduction: Estimating the cost of equity capital has two major implications. First, it reflects the return to a company s stock which an equity investor expects to receive from his investment. He makes his decision upon whether he could earn a higher rate of return in an alternative investment of equivalent risk. Second, a company must earn the cost of capital (both debt and equity) through its undertaken projects. It is hence relevant for decisions on undertaking positive net present value projects which are of similar risk as the company s average business activities. It also substantially influences the pricing of an entire firm as far as the valuation is based on a discounted cash flow model. A lot of effort has been done in the past to achieve accurate models which precisely determine this cost. Building on the modern portfolio theory of Harry Markowitz, a widely used and commonly known model in this context is the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). Introduced by several researchers in the 1960s, it is still one of the most applied methods for practitioners. However, it suffers from several shortcomings, including statistical caveats, economic assumptions, the absence of market frictions and the behaviour of market participants. An upgrade to this model was provided by Stephen Ross which has resulted in the Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT). It combines several risk factors in addition to one market proxy, as it is the case in the CAPM, and is less restrictive in its assumptions. But both CAPM and APT require observable market data, i.e. stock prices, of the analysed companies. These models thus only work for publicly listed firms. If research should be done on non-traded companies, however, an alternative methodology must be applied. In general, data from the balance sheet, the income statement and the cash flow statement are available for both listed and non-listed companies. While accounting data have widely been used in the past as well and have been assumed to provide valuable information in explaining stock returns, this line of research has dissipated over time. Only a few key figures, such as size and financial leverage, are still considered to be relevant. However, they can be used to indirectly estimate a firm s beta by assessing their explanatory power in a CAPM or APT framework. This methodology is particularly beneficial for firms which are not listed because there cannot be observed any stock price movements. [...]
