Pricing Error Reversal: A Diagnostic Test of Asset Pricing Models

Comparing Asset Pricing Models

A Bayesian asset-pricing test is derived that is easily computed in closed-form from the standard F-statistic. Given a set of candidate traded factors, we develop a related test procedure that permits an analysis of model comparison, i.e., the computation of model probabilities for the collection of all possible pricing models that are based on subsets of the given factors. We find that the rec...

Self-consistent Asset Pricing Models *

We discuss the foundations of factor or regression models in the light of the self-consistency condition that the market portfolio (and more generally the risk factors) is (are) constituted of the assets whose returns it is (they are) supposed to explain. As already reported in several articles, self-consistency implies correlations between the return disturbances. As a consequence, the alpha's...

Consumption-Based Asset Pricing Models

A major research initiative in finance focuses on the determinants of the cross-sectional and time series properties of asset returns. With that objective in mind, asset pricing models have been developed, starting with the capital asset pricing models of Sharpe (1964), Lintner (1965), andMossin (1966). Consumption-based asset pricing models use marginal rates of substitution to determine the r...

The Expansion of Capital Asset Pricing Factor Models through Pricing Value ، Momentum and stock quality at Tehran stock exchange

Considering the inverse relationship between the value and momentum factors and the lack of simultaneous use of them in capital asset pricing models as well as non-use of stock quality as representative of profitability ans investment factors such as CAPM and Fama and French's three-factor models, the basis of this study is to provide a new functional model has been replacing pricing models o...
