Reproduction permitted only if source is stated. ISBN 3–935821–02–6 The capital-asset-pricing model (CAPM) is one of the most popular methods of financial market analysis. But, evidence of the poor empirical performance of the CAPM has accumulated in the literature. For example, based on their empirical results regarding the relation between market Beta and average return, Fama and French (1996) conclude that the CAPM is no longer a useful tool for empirical financial market analysis. Most empirical studies of the conventional CAPM take, however, neither the fat-tails of return data nor the price relationship between an asset of interest and the bench market portfolio into account. In the framework of a univariate Beta-model we consider a stable long-run CAPM taking account of the fat-tails of stock returns and the common stochastic trends between stock prices. Using the same data used by Fama and French (1996), the stable long-run CAPM demonstrates that Markowitz rule of the expected returns and variance of returns can (still) —without any use of firm specific variables— explain the variation of the cross-sectional average returns. Abstract Das Capital-Asset-Pricing-Modell (CAPM) ist einer der populärsten empirischen Ansätze zur Analyse der Finanzmarktdaten. In der Literatur jedoch sind eher Gegenbeweisë uber seine empirische Tauglichkeit akkumuliert. Fama und French (1996) haben beispielsweise aufgrund ihrer empirischen Untersuchungsergebnissë uber die Beziehung zwischen dem Markt-Beta und der Durchschnittsrendite schluss-gefolgert, daß das CAPM keine nützliche Methode für empirische Finanzmarkt-analyse mehr sein kann. Die meisten Arbeiten aber, die sich mit dem CAPM beschäftigen, berücksichtigen weder die ausreißerreiche empirische Renditenvertei-lung noch die Preisbeziehung zwischen dem einzelnen Kurs und dem Benchmark. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird im Rahmen univariater Beta-Modelle ein Ver-such zur Spezifikation eines stabilen langfristigen CAPM gemacht, das sowohl die ausreißerreiche empirische Renditenverteilung als auch die Preisbeziehung zwischen dem einzelnen Kurs und dem Benchmark berücksichtigt. Mit dem Datensatz von Fama und French (1996) wird gezeigt, daß das stabile langfristige CAPM in der Lage ist, anhand der Markowitz'schen Mittelwert-Varianz-Regel —ohne Hinzufügen firm-spezifischer Variablen— die Variabilität durchschnittlicher Rendite in Querschnitts-daten zu erklären.

A Model of Cross-Section of Equity Returns and Firm Dynamics

We put forward a general equilibrium model that links the cross-section variation of expected returns to …rms’life cycle dynamics. In the model all assets have the same exposure to short-run consumption risks, but di¤er in their exposure to long-run consumption risks (Bansal and Yaron (2004)). An econometrician who uses conditional CAPM regression to predict asset returns will obtain higher for...

Studying the Expected Returns Based on Carhart Model Com-pared to CAPM Model and Implicit Capital Cost Model Based on Cash and Capital Flow of Growth and Value stocks

The purpose of this study was to examine the expected returns of Carhart model compared to the capital asset pricing model and the implicit capital cost model based on cash and capital returns of growth and value stocks. The statistical population consisted of the companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange and the time domain is between 2007 and 2016. By choosing Cochran sampling, 126 companies ...

CAPM for estimating the cost of equity capital Interpreting the empirical evidence

We argue that the empirical evidence against the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) based on stock returns does not invalidate its use for estimating the cost of capital for projects in making capital budgeting decisions. Because stocks are backed not only by projects in place, but also by the options to modify current projects and undertake new ones, the expected returns on stocks need not sat...

A Cross-Sectional Test of Linear Factor Models With Time-Varying Risk Premia

This paper explores the ability of theoretically-based asset pricing models such as the CAPM and the consumption CAPM referred to jointly as the (C)CAPM to explain the cross-section of average stock returns. Unlike many previous empirical tests of the (C)CAPM, we specify the pricing kernel as a conditional linear factor model, as would be expected if risk premia vary over time. Central to our a...
