UVA-F-DRAFT COST OF CAPITAL: THE DOWNSIDE RISK APPROACH Emerging Markets and CAPM CAPM is often the method of choice among practioners for estimating the cost of equity for investment projects

چکیده
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 comparable projects in developed economies. This observation calls into question whether the CAPM-based model is applicable in emerging markets.

Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) suggests that an investor’s cost of equity capital is determined by beta, a measure of systematic risk based on how returns co-move with the overall market. We propose to replace beta with downside beta, a measure more consistent with investors’ perception of risk. Recent empirical evidence suggests that downside beta better captures the risk-return relationsh...

متن کاملCAPM for estimating the cost of equity capital Interpreting the empirical evidence
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...
