Book The Conditional Capital Asset Pricing Model Revisited

Download or read book The Conditional Capital Asset Pricing Model Revisited written by Fabian Hollstein and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When using high-frequency data, the conditional CAPM can explain asset-pricing anomalies. Using conditional betas based on daily data, the model works reasonably well for a recent sample period. However, it fails to explain the size anomaly as well as 3 out of 6 of the anomaly component excess returns. Using high-frequency betas, the conditional CAPM is able to explain the size, value, and momentum anomalies. We further show that high-frequency betas provide more accurate predictions of future betas than those based on daily data. This result holds for both the time-series and the cross-sectional dimensions.

Book A New Model of Capital Asset Prices

Download or read book A New Model of Capital Asset Prices written by James W. Kolari and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 326 pages. 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 2009-04 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2007 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,0, University of Applied Sciences Berlin, course: Financial Management, language: English, abstract: In everything you do, or don't do, there is a chance that something will happen that you didn't count on. Risk is the potential for unexpected things to happen. Risk aversion is a common thing among almost all investors. Investors generally dislike uncertainty or risk and agree that a safe dollar is worth more than a risky one. Therefore, investors will have to be persuaded to take higher risk by the offer of higher returns. In this investment context, the additional compensation for taking on higher risk is a higher rate of return.Every investment has a risk element: The investor will always not be certainwhether the investment will be able to generate the required income. The degree of risk defers from industry to industry but also from company to company. It is not possible to eliminate the investment risk altogether but to reduce is. Nevertheless, often there remains a risky part. According to the degree of risk, the investor demands a corresponding rate of return that is, of course, higher than the rate of return of risk-free investments. Taking on a risk should be paid off. The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is an economic model for valuing stocks, securities, derivatives and/or assets by relating risk and expected rate of return. CAPM is based on the idea that investors demand additional expected return if they are asked to accept additional risk.

Book Limitations of the Capital Asset Pricing Model  CAPM

Download or read book Limitations of the Capital Asset Pricing Model CAPM written by Manuel Kürschner and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2008-07-04 with total page 41 pages. 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, 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.

Book Conditional Beta Capital Asset Pricing Model  CAPM  and Duration Dependence Tests

Download or read book Conditional Beta Capital Asset Pricing Model CAPM and Duration Dependence Tests written by David E. Allen and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper uses a sample of 50 companies continuously listed on Main Board of Bursa Malaysia from January 1994 until December 2001 and uses duration dependence tests whilst applying two asset pricing models based on the CAPM; the two Factor Model developed by Fama and French (F & F)(1998) and Ferson, Sarkissian and Simin's (FSS) (2008) conditional beta model applied to estimate the conditional beta of CAPM as to generate the positive and negative abnormal returns. The findings suggest that both the Log Logistic and Weibull hazard models seem to support the existence of negative duration dependence for both positive and negative runs of abnormal returns, consistent with the presence of bubbles theory as predicted by McQueen and Thorley (1994). The negative runs of abnormal returns for both the F & F and FSS models show that more than 80% of the sample seems to support the existence of negative duration dependence using both hazard models. Meanwhile the positive runs show that not more than 80% of the sample rejects the null hypothesis based on LR tests of the absence of duration dependence. Therefore, the analysis and results suggest that the negative runs of abnormal returns are consistent for both hazard models.

Book Evaluating Conditional Asset Pricing Models for the German Stock Market

Download or read book Evaluating Conditional Asset Pricing Models for the German Stock Market written by Andreas Schrimpf and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We study the performance of conditional asset pricing models in explaining the German cross-section of stock returns. Our test assets are portfolios sorted by size and book-to-market as in the paper by Fama and French (1993). Our results show that the empirical performance of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) can be improved substantially when allowing for time-varying parameters of the stochastic discount factor. A conditional CAPM with the term spread as a conditioning variable is able to explain the cross-section of German stock returns about as well as the Fama-French model. Structural break tests do not indicate parameter instability of the model - whereas the reverse is found for the Fama-French model. Unconditional model specifications however do a better job than conditional ones at capturing time-series predictability of the test portfolio returns.

Book Resurrecting the Conditional CAPM with Dynamic Conditional Correlations

Download or read book Resurrecting the Conditional CAPM with Dynamic Conditional Correlations written by Turan G. Bali and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides a time-series and cross-sectional investigation of the conditional and unconditional capital asset pricing model (CAPM). The unconditional CAPM fails, but the conditional CAPM with dynamic conditional correlations (DCC) succeeds in generating a significantly positive risk-return tradeoff. The conditional alpha estimates indicate that the time-varying conditional covariances explain the industry, size and value premiums, but the momentum profits cannot be explained by the conditional CAPM. The multivariate GARCH-in-mean model with DCC provides an accurate characterization of the conditional betas that significantly covary with the expected market risk premium to explain stock market anomalies. The paper also examines the significance of intertemporal hedging demand identified by the covariation of portfolio returns with the innovations in macroeconomic variables. The results show that only inflation and dividend related shocks have significant risk premia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is addressed to the derivation of the CAPM with two distinct levels. The first derivation is an attractive simple derivation of. This is followed by a more rigorous derivation. It is confirmed that CAPM can be a good method to choose portfolios and the of an asset and the average of a well-diversified portfolio could provide a reasonable measure of portfolio risk. Also are introduced the coherent measures of risk and the CVaR. The mutual relationships between CVaR - Average Return and Standard Deviation are discussed using Excel, The relative efficient frontiers derived from the respective relationships and calculated by the Excel Solver, that are reported in the continuation present a clear and interesting view of securities and efficient portfolios. Seeing the securities trend of the Milan Stock Exchange for the period under consideration we've found very useful the representation of the so called "Radar" diagrams. An interesting observation from this analysis was: "Not always a growing return (profit) corresponds to a growing Standard Deviation (risk)." Being CVaR a more accurate measure of risk has allowed us to have situations closer to the reality."

Book The Capital Asset Pricing Model in the 21st Century

Download or read book The Capital Asset Pricing Model in the 21st Century written by Haim Levy and published by Cambridge University Press. 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.

Book Tests of the Conditional Asset Pricing Model

Download or read book Tests of the Conditional Asset Pricing Model written by Stuart Hyde and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We investigate the relationship between consumption and the term structure using U.K. interest rate data. We demonstrate that the term structure contains information about future economic activity as implied by the benchmark time separable power utility consumption based capital asset pricing model (C-CAPM) since the yield spread has forecasting power for future consumption growth. Further, we analyze the ability of this benchmark and two alternative models which adopt utility functions characterized by non-separability, namely, the extension to the habit formation model of Campbell and Cochrane (1999) proposed by Wachter (2006) and the housing C-CAPM proposed by Piazzesi et al. (2007). Our findings are supportive of the habit formation specification of Wachter (2006), other models fail to yield economically plausible parameter values.
