Evaluating time-series restrictions for cross-sections of expected returns: Multifactor CCAPMs

چکیده
Article history: Received 6 September 2011 Accepted 13 February 2012 Available online 8 March 2012 A number of recent papers have developed multifactor extensions of the classic consumption capital asset pricing model (CCAPM) and generally concluded that conditioning information improves the empirical performance. This paper asks whether the superior empirical performance of the multifactor CCAPMs is maintained once the time-series intercept restrictions are explicitly tested. The maximum correlation portfolio (MCP) approach is employed to implement the intercept restrictions. The empirical findings support the conclusion that multifactor CCAPMs can explain the cross-section of expected stock returns better than classic unconditional models. Moreover, several of the multifactor CCAPMs are shown to perform as well as or better than the Fama–French three-factor model. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. JEL classification: G12

Cross-Sectional Tests of Multifactor CCAPMs using Conditional Moments and Time-Series Restrictions
Two different methods are used to evaluate the performance of the consumption-based asset pricing models to explain the cross-section of expected stock returns in conditional moments: one is to scale the returns, and the other is to model time-varying factor loadings, using instrument variables. Maximum correlation portfolios are constructed to directly impose restrictions on the time-series in...
متن کاملIntertemporal Asset Pricing without Consumption Data: Empirical Tests
In this paper I conduct tests of an intertemporal asset pricing model using variables that forecast stock returns as the risk factors. I document that the forecasting variables are priced so that expected excess returns are related to their conditional covariances with the forecasting variables. The variability in the covariance risk fails to explain the cross-sectional and time-series variatio...
متن کاملSources of risk and expected returns in global equity markets
This paper empirically examines multifactor asset pricing models for the returns and expected returns on eighteen national equity markets. The factors are chosen to measure global economic risks. Although previous studies do not reject the unconditional mean variance efficiency of a world market portfolio, our evidence indicates that the tests are low in power, and the world market betas do not...
متن کاملEfficient Derivative Pricing by the Extended Method of Moments
In this paper we introduce the Extended Method of Moments (XMM) estimator. This estimator accommodates a more general set of moment restrictions than the standard Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimator. More specifically, the XMM differs from the GMM in that it can handle not only uniform conditional moment restrictions (i.e. valid for any value of the conditioning variable), but also lo...
متن کاملEvaluating Mutual Fund Performance
We study standard mutual fund performance measures, using simulated funds whose characteristics mimic actual funds. We find that performance measures used in previous mutual fund research have little ability to detect economically large magnitudes ~e.g., three percent per year! of abnormal fund performance, particularly if a fund’s style characteristics differ from those of the value-weighted m...
