CAPM is often the method of choice among practioners for estimating the cost of equity for investment projects in developed economies. But for investment projects in emerging economies, CAPM tends to give estimates that are considered too low by experienced financial managers. Sometimes, CAPM estimates of the cost of equity for projects in emerging markets are even lower than those for comparab...

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...

We tested the germicide activity of 1% Chloramin BM, 1% Incidin Plus, 1% Lysoformin 3000, 0.2% Mikasept KP, and 2% Sekusept Forte against viruses in suspension (suspension test) and dried onto a surface (carrier test). The agents of the porcine encephalomyelitis (Porcine teschovirus, strains CAPM V-86, CAPM V-37), Aujeszky’s disease (strains CAPM V-166, CAPM V-327) and vesicular stomatitis (str...

Is Beta Dead?” (Wallace [1980]) and other recent articles have asked whether broad consequences, disastrous to modern investment technology, would result from misspecification of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), or worse yet, from falsehood of the model. The criticisms have cited imprecise specification of the market portfolio as a misapplication of the CAPM, and have emphasized the diff...

We argue that the empirical evidence against the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) based on stock returns does not invalidate its use for estimating the cost of capital for projects in making capital budgeting decisions. Because stocks are backed not only by projects in place, but also by the options to modify current projects and undertake new ones, the expected returns on stocks need not sat...
