Conditionally parametric fits for CAPM betas. Februar 2004
نویسنده
چکیده
The CAPM model assumes stock returns to be a linear function of the market return. However, there is considerable evidence that the beta stability assumption commonly used when estimating the model is invalid. Nonparametric regression methods are used to examine the stability of beta coefficients in German stock returns. Since local polynomial regression is used for estimation, known methods for testing the stability and for bandwidth choice can be used. For some returns the test indicates time-varying betas. For these returns conditionally parametric fits are calculated.

A new method for estimating liquidity risk: Insights from a liquidity-adjusted CAPM framework
This paper proposes a new non-parametric method for estimating model-free, time-varying liquidity betas which builds on realized covariance and volatility theory. Working under a liquidityadjusted CAPM framework we provide evidence that liquidity risk is a factor priced in the Greek stock market, mainly arising from the covariation of individual liquidity with local market liquidity, however, t...
متن کاملForecasting Beta: How Well Does the ‘five-year Rule of Thumb’ Do?
CAPM betas are widely used in practice. While they are estimated from historical data, they are generally applied to a future period. This is appropriate only if the betas are stable over time. However, there is widespread evidence that the CAPM betas vary considerably over time. This raises two questions: is the time-variation in the betas systematic and can systematic variation in the betas b...

Time-Varying Modeling of Systematic Risk: using High-Frequency Characterization of Tehran Stock Exchange
We decompose time-varying beta for stock into beta for continuous systematic risk and beta for discontinuous systematic risk. Brownian motion is assumed as nature of price movements in our modeling. Our empirical research is based on high-frequency data for stocks from Tehran Stock Exchange. Our market portfolio experiences 136 days out of 243 trading days with jumps which is a considerable rat...
