longer follow. The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) is an elegant theory. With the aid of some simplifying assumptions, it comes to dramatic conclusions about practical matters, such as how to choose an investment portfolio, how to forecast the expected return of a security or asset class, how to price a new security, or how to price risky assets in a merger or acquisition. The CAPM starts wi...

This article provides an overview of evaluation studies for libraries, a brief introduction to the CAPM Project, a description of the theoretical background for the CAPM methodology and, finally, a discussion of the implementation of the methodology for the CAPM Project.

The Sharpe (1964), Lintner (1965) and Black (1972) Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is considered one of the foundational contributions to the practice of finance. The model postulates that the equilibrium rates of return on all risky assets are a linear function of their covariance with the market portfolio. Recent work by Fama and French (1996, 2006) introduce a Three Factor Model that ques...

Context-aware power management (CAPM) uses context (e.g., user location) likely to be available in future ubiquitous computing environments, to e ectively power manage a building's energy consuming devices. The objective of CAPM is to minimise overall energy consumption while maintaining user-perceived device performance. The principal context required by CAPM is when the user is not using and ...

We examine how the empirical implications of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) are affected by the length of the period over which returns are measured. We show that the continuous-time CAPM becomes a multifactor model when the asset pricing relation is aggregated temporally. We use Hansen's Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) approach to test the continuous-time CAPM at an unconditional l...
