Roger Waters, the main contributor of the band, wrote almost all the lyrics and was also a main figure behind producing the motion picture of the album. He deliberately attacks Western media in both the lyrics he has written for the band and his solo projects. The present study finds this tendency of assaulting the media deeply roo...

Constructing Comparable Sources of Liquidity Risk in the CAPM

This paper adopts the methodology used by Fama and French (1993) to construct two measures of liquidity risk. These liquidity proxies solve the empirical issue of comparability between risk factors by utilizing the standardized unit of risk first proposed for size and value effects. As far as I know, this has not been done before. Modeling these additional liquidity premiums indicate an improve...
