This paper provides an alternate method of evaluating portfolio performance of stock pricing models. We apply Pitman Closeness Criterion to compare the accuracy of three popular pricing models. This comparison is used to assess which, if any, model outperforms the others. In assessing model performance over a long period of time, we find that the Fama-French three-factor model and the Carhart f...

Article history: Received 18 November 2010 Accepted 12 September 2011 Available online 17 September 2011 This paper evaluates and compares asset pricing models in the Korean stock market. The asset pricing models considered are the CAPM, APT-motivated models, the Consumption-based CAPM, Intertemporal CAPM-motivated models, and the Jagannathan and Wang conditional CAPM model. By using various te...

The capitalization (cap) rate as used in the real estate literature refers to the ratio of net operating income to property value. This rate has a particularly important role in property valuation, because the income capitalization method converts the expected income stream from commercial property into an estimate of asset value by dividing the net operating income stream by the capitalization...

In the estimation of portfolios, it is natural to assume that the utility function depends on exogenous variable.From this point of view, in this paper, we develop the estimation under the utility function depending on exogenous variable. To estimate the optimal portfolio, we introduce a function consists of mean and variance of the return process, the covariance of the return processes and the...

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...

A famous model in nancial theory is the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). In this paper we propose a two state CAPM in which we assume that excess returns for the market and for a particular security are bivariate normally distributed. The parameters of the distribution are determined by the state of an unobserved stationary Markov chain. Two states represent two business regimes that are cha...

There is no consensus in the literature as to which model should be used to estimate the stock returns and the cost of capital in the emerging markets. The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) that is most often used for this purpose in the developed markets has a poor empirical record and is likely not to hold in the less developed and less liquid emerging markets. Various factor models have bee...

Emerging markets provide a formidable challenge to current asset pricing theory. The reason that emerging market do not obey standard asset pricing paradigms can be traced to the lack of complete market integration of many of these markets. Importantly, to understand both the cross-section of expected returns as well as the evolution of expected returns through time in these markets, it is nece...
