Evaluating the specification errors of asset pricing models
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper evaluates the specification errors of several empirical asset pricing models that have been developed as potential improvements on the CAPM. We use the methodology of Hansen and Jagannathan (J. Finance 51 (1997) 3), and the test assets are the 25 Fama-French (J. Financial Econom. 52 (1997) 557) equity portfolios sorted on size and book-to-market ratio, and the Treasury bill. We allow the parameters of each model’s pricing kernel to fluctuate with the business cycle. While we cannot reject correct pricing for Campbell’s (J. Political Econom. 104 (1996) 298) model, stability tests indicate that the parameters may not be stable. A robustness test also indicates that none of the models correctly price returns that are scaled by the term premium. r 2001 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.

Evaluating asset pricing models using the second Hansen-Jagannathan distance
We develop a specification test and a sequence of model selection procedures for nonnested, overlapping, and nested models based on the second Hansen-Jagannathan distance, which requires a good asset pricing model to not only have small pricing errors but also be arbitrage free. Our methods have reasonably good finite sample performances and are more powerful than existing ones in detecting mis...
متن کاملEvaluating alternative methods for testing asset pricing models with historical data
We follow the correct Jagannathan and Wang (2002) framework for comparing the estimates and specification tests of the classical Beta and Stochastic Discount Factor/Generalized Method of Moments (SDF/GMM) methods. We extend previous studies by considering not only single but also multifactor models, and by taking into account some of the prescriptions for improving empirical tests suggested by ...

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...
متن کاملDynamic Pricing with Periodic Review and a Finite set of Prices with Cancellation
In this paper, three dynamic pricing models are developed and analyzed. We assume a limited number of a particular asset is offered for sale over a period of time. This asset is perishable and can be an inventory or a manufacturing capacity. During each period, the seller sets a price for this asset. This price is selected from a predetermined discrete set. The maximum amount which a customer i...
متن کاملasset pricing anomalies at the firm level
Anomaly is deviation from common rules and in finance it can be defined as a pattern in the average of stock return that is not consistent with the prevailing asset pricing models literature. For anomaly investigation two common methods are used: portfolio approach and individual firm approach. This paper wants to shed light on anomalies of capital asset pricing model at the individual firm lev...
