The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is a model used to calculate the profitability that an investor must demand when making investment in financial asset, depending on risk he assuming.

This paper examines the validity of the Sharpe-Linter-Black Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) to stocks traded on the Barbados, Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago Stock Exchanges. Tests of the CAPM are based on portfolio betas made up of stocks emanating from all three exchanges and are carried out on the alternative multifactor specification proposed by Fama and French (1992), extended to include ...

We study the performance of conditional asset pricing models in explaining the German cross-section of stock returns. Our test assets are portfolios sorted by size and book-to-market as in the paper by Fama and French (1993). Our results show that the empirical performance of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) can be improved substantially when allowing for time-varying parameters of the st...

In this paper, we test a version of the conditional CAPM with respect to a local market portfolio, proxied by the Brazilian stock index during the period 1976-1992. We also test a conditional APT mo deI by using the difference between the 3~day rate (Cdb) and the overnight rate as a second factor in addition to the market portfolio in order to capture the large inflation risk present during thi...

This study explores the conditional version of capital asset pricing model on sentiment to provide a behavioural intuition behind value premium and market mispricing. We find betas (β) risk vary over time across different indices portfolios. More importantly, state β derived from this sentiment-scaled provides explanation set anomalies driven by Different static β–return relation that gives fla...

Futures on fresh farmed salmon traded at the Fish Pool market in Norway are analyzed context of Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and a corresponding three-factor model where contracts separated based their maturities. Looking into 1 month; 6 months 12 contracts, we find that all alphas most betas statistically insignificant. We conclude CAPM equilibrium condition holds Salmon futures prices m...
