CAPM模型在上海股票市场的实证检验

本文针对CAPM模型在上海股票市场上的适用性进行了实证检验。本文首先对这类文章进行了简单的综述,并且在选取模型所需的数据之后,采用BJS三步骤方法和FM模型分别对上海股票市场的日收益率进行时间序列分析和横截面分析。最终认为CAPM模型在中国上海股票市场上适用性并不强,实际结果与该理论提出的先验分析存在着一定的差异。并且发现非系统风险因素对股票收益率影响颇大,这一点有利于构造投资组合降低风险进而提高相应的收益率来获得利润。     

CAPM and the changing distribution of historical returns

Three statistical tests reject the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) assumption of a constant distribution of returns over time, for three different aggregate stock indices over various holding periods since 1950. These findings further undermine the reliability of CAPM applied to historical data for choosing optimal portfolio allocations.     

Size and book to market effects and the Fama French three factor asset pricing model: evidence from the Australian stockmarket

The present study adds to the sparse published Australian literature on the size effect, the book to market (BM) effect and the ability of the Fama French three factor model to account for these effects and to improve on the asset pricing ability of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). The present study extends the 1981–1991 period examined by Halliwell, Heaney and Sawicki (1999) a further 10 years to 2000 and addresses several limitations and findings of that research. In contrast to Halliwell, Heaney and Sawicki the current study finds the three factor model provides significantly improved explanatory power over the CAPM, and evidence that the BM factor plays a role in asset pricing.     

我国股市收益率极端值与CAPM模型的应用

沪深两市收益率具有尖峰、偏斜的特征,月度收益率比日收益率、周收益率更接近正态分布。剔除异常值之后,偏度下降,收益率更接近正态分布。在回归估计贝塔系数时,如果样本过小,应剔除异常的收益率值,以保证回归的有效性。     

中国上市公司A股和H股价差的实证研究

本文从实证角度,详细描述了截止2007年12月31日51家AH股上市公司自上市以来的价差变化趋势,并从公司、市场、利率、投资者、重大政策多个角度深入分析了AH股价差的影响因素。实证结果表明:同一上市公司的A股对H股普遍存在溢价现象,并且AH股价差在考察区间呈先上升后下降的趋势;流动性假说和信息不对称假说对AH股价差具有较强的解释力;两地的市场波动及利率变化对AH股价差具有显著的影响,而投资者结构和公司治理结构对AH股价差的作用不显著;在控制了市场波动等因素的影响之后,股权分置改革、QDII和港股直通车政策本身对AH股价差并没有显著影响。本文的研究成果进一步证明,两地股票市场分割以及内地资本流动的限制是造成AH股价差的根源。     

Are the profitability and investment factors valid ICAPM risk factors? Pre-1963 evidence

We empirically evaluate whether the profitability and investment factors from Novy-Marx (2013) and Fama and French (2015, 2018) are compatible with Merton’s (1973) intertemporal CAPM (ICAPM) framework in the pre-1963 period. We show that: (i) the covariance risk price estimates of the profitability factors are positive and statistically significant, which indicates that they have explanatory power with respect to the cross-section of stock returns; (ii) the investment factors carry insignificant covariance risk prices and are therefore not valid ICAPM risk factors; and (iii) the profitability factors forecast the first moment of the aggregate stock return and economic activity with the correct sign, which is consistent with their positive covariance risk price estimates and satisfies the sign restrictions associated with the ICAPM.     

Transaction Costs and Exchange: Nine Case Studies of Australian and Malaysian Firms

This paper justifies theoretically and empirically the diversification behaviour of an importing firm when it chooses the mixture of potentially differentiated products of its major input under price uncertainty. The paper investigates an equilibrium relationship among three key explanatory variables, which are the expected price, the systematic risk of price, and monopolistic market power of the suppliers in the market. The theoretical section shows that there exists a conflict between the risk–diversification effect and the agent's preference over certain products when the importer chooses the vector of optimal quantity shares. The latter effect may disturb or even dominate the former, which can be represented in an equilibrium relationship similar to the framework of the CAPM. As an empirical application, the Chinese wheat import market is examined and analysed to answer the questions raised by the basic statistics.

Exact distribution-free tests of mean-variance efficiency

This paper develops exact distribution-free tests of unconditional mean-variance efficiency. These new tests allow for unknown forms of non-normalities, conditional heteroskedasticity, and other non-linear temporal dependencies among the absolute values of the error terms in the asset pricing model. Exactness here rests on the assumption that the joint temporal error density is symmetric around zero. This still leaves open the possibility of return distribution asymmetry via coskewness with the benchmark portfolio. A simulation study shows that the new tests have very good power relative to that of many commonly used tests. The inference procedures developed are further illustrated by tests of the mean-variance efficiency of a market index using a 42-year sample of monthly returns on ten U.S. equity portfolios.     

Estimation of conditional asset pricing models with integrated variables in the beta specification

We introduce a methodology which deals with possibly integrated variables in the specification of the betas of conditional asset pricing models. In such a case, any model which is directly derived by a polynomial approximation of the functional form of the conditional beta will inherit a nonstationary right hand side. Our approach uses the cointegrating relationships between the integrated variables in order to maintain the stationarity of the right hand side of the estimated model, thus, avoiding the issues that arise in the case of an unbalanced regression. We present an example where our methodology is applied to the returns of funds-of-funds which are based on the Morningstar mutual fund ranking system. The results provide evidence that the residuals of possible cointegrating relationships between integrated variables in the specification of the conditional betas may reveal significant information concerning the dynamics of the betas.
