This paper proposes an econometric procedure that allows the estimation of the pricing kernel without either any assumptions about the investors preferences or the use of the consumption data. We propose a model of equity price dynamics that allows for (i) simultaneous consideration of multiple stock prices, (ii) analytical formulas for derivatives such as futures, options and bonds, and (iii) ...

Does Subjective Evaluation of Probability Impact Asset Prices? The Nobel Prize–winning capital asset pricing model (CAPM) predicts that expected excess return any is positively proportional to its exposure the overall market: beta, leading an upward-sloping security market line. However, this prediction contradicted by empirical studies return–beta slope often flat or even downward-sloping, a p...

Abstract This paper develops a simple new methodology to test financial market integration. Our technique is tightly based on a general intertemporal asset-pricing model, and relies on estimating and comparing expected discount rates across asset markets. Expected discount rates are allowed to vary freely over time, constrained only by the fact that they are equal across (riskadjusted) assets. ...

In recent years, the rapid and significant development of emerging markets has globally led to insight from potential investors academicians seeking assess these in terms risk inheritance. Therefore, this study aims explore validity applicability capital asset pricing model (henceforth CAPM) multi-factor models, namely Fama–French Pakistan’s stock market for period June 2010–June 2020.

If asset returns have systematic skewness, expected returns should include rewards for accepting this risk. We formalize this intuition with an asset pricing model that incorporates conditional skewness. Our results show that conditional skewness helps explain the cross-sectional variation of expected returns across assets and is significant even when factors based on size and book-to-market ar...

The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) assumes either that all asset returns are normally distributed or that investors have mean-variance preferences. Given empirical observations of asset returns, which document evidence of skewness and kurtosis, both assumptions are suspect. While several studies have investigated incorporating higher moments into asset pricing models using equity data, lite...

The notion of Net Present Value (NPV) is thought to formally translate the notion of economic profit, where the discount rate is the cost of capital. The latter is the expected rate of return of an equivalent-risk alternative that the investor might undertake and is often found by making recourse to the Capital Asset Pricing Model. This paper shows that the notions of disequilibrium NPV and eco...
