The existence theorem of Allingham (Econometrica 59:1169–1174, 1991) for the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) is generalized to the case where agents have heterogeneous expectations on the return distribution and the mean-variance utility functions are quasiconcave. This result is built upon new conditions which are distinct from and weaker than the conditions imposed on the CAPM in the liter...

Under the assumption of normally distributed returns, we analyze whether the Cumulative Prospect Theory of Tversky and Kahneman (1992) is consistent with the Capital Asset Pricing Model. We find that in every financial market equilibrium the Security Market Line Theorem holds. However, under the specific functional form suggested by Tversky and Kahneman (1992) financial market equilibria do not...

In the paper, we use three years of monthly data to compute loadings on the labor market tightness factor. We now evaluate robustness of our results to different beta estimation horizons. In Table IA.I, we estimate betas using 24, 48, or 60 months of data and otherwise do not modify our empirical methods. For all considered horizons, the differences in future performance of portfolios with low ...

This paper presents a test of multi-period asset pricing models using quarterly Philippine data. Using a consumption-based asset-pricing model, the study finds the rate of time preference to be 5.20 percent (on an annual basis). The estimated risk aversion coefficient of 0.043 seems to be on the low side when compared with estimates for other countries. Hansen's J-test finds favorable evidence ...

From a CAPM-type model the cost of equity is derived for a ...rm operating under various foreign tax systems. The ...rm’s shares are traded in a market which is una¤ected by these systems. The cost of capital depends on the foreign tax system, even for fully equity ...nanced projects. This is neglected in much of the literature. For a corporate income tax the main factor which reduces the cost ...

In this paper, we test a version of the conditional CAPM with respect to a local market portfolio, proxied by the Brazilian stock index during the period 1976-1992. We also test a conditional APT mo deI by using the difference between the 3~day rate (Cdb) and the overnight rate as a second factor in addition to the market portfolio in order to capture the large inflation risk present during thi...

A key result of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is that the market portfolio— the portfolio of all assets in which each asset’s weight is proportional to its total market capitalization—lies on the mean-variance-efficient frontier, the set of portfolios having mean-variance characteristics that cannot be improved upon. Therefore, the CAPM cannot be consistent with efficient frontiers for...
