2. 13-2 INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS Overview of Investigation Capital Asset Pricing Models consist of two parts: –1. Optimal P derivation based on risk tolerance and input list –2. Derive predictions about expected returns in equilibrium

3. 13-3 INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS Overview of Investigation

4. 13-4 INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS The Index Model and the Single-Factor APT Expected Return-Beta Relationship Estimating the SCL

5. 13-5 INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS Tests of the CAPM Tests of the expected return beta relationship: First Pass Regression –Estimate beta, average risk premiums and nonsystematic risk Second Pass –Use estimates from the first pass to see if model is supported by the data SML slope is “too flat” and intercept is “too high”.

6. 13-6 INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS Roll’s Criticism The only testable hypothesis is whether the market portfolio is mean-variance efficient. Sample betas conform to the SML relationship because all samples contain an infinite number of ex post mean-variance efficient portfolios. CAPM is not testable unless we know the exact composition of the true market portfolio and use it in the tests. Benchmark error due to proxy for M

7. 13-7 INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS Measurement Error in Beta Problem: If beta is measured with error, then the slope coefficient of the regression equation will be biased downward and the intercept biased upward. Solution: Construct P with large dispersion of beta. Then, by ranking them, they yield insightful tests of the SML –Fama and MacBeth

9. 13-9 INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS Summary of CAPM Tests 1. Expected rates of return are linear and increase with beta, the measure of systematic risk. 2. Expected rates of return are not affected by nonsystematic risk.

10. 13-10 INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS Tests of the Multifactor CAPM and APT Three types of factors likely the augment market risk factor: –Factors that hedge consumption against uncertainty in prices –Factors that hedge future investment opps. –Factors that hedge assets missing from market index (labor income) Labor income- Mayers model creates wedge between betas, resulting in SML flatter than CAPM’s

11. 13-11 INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS Human Capital and Cyclical Variations in Asset Betas Jagannathan and Wang study shows two important deficiencies in tests of the single-index model: 1. Many assets are not traded, notably, human capital. A human capital factor may be important in explaining returns. 2. Betas are cyclical.

15. 13-15 INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS Study Structure & Results Method: Two-stage regression with portfolios constructed by size based on market value of equity Significant factors: industrial production, risk premium on bonds and unanticipated inflation Market index returns were not statistically significant in the multifactor model

16. 13-16 INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS Fama-French-Type Factor Models Size and book-to-market ratios explain returns on securities. High book to market firms experience higher returns (value style). Smaller firms experience higher returns. FF quantifies the size risk premium –Size and value are priced risk factors, consistent with APT.

High prices reflect excessive optimism plus overreaction and extrapolation of good news. Chan, Karceski and Lakonishok LaPorta, Lakonishok, Shleifer and Vishny

24. 13-24 INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS Momentum: A Fourth Factor T he original Fama-French model augmented with a momentum factor has become a common four-factor model used to evaluate abnormal performance of a stock portfolio. Winners minus losers (WML)- winners/losers based on past returns.

25. 13-25 INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS Liquidity and Asset Pricing Liquidity involves. –trading costs, –ease of sale, –necessary price concessions to effect a quick transaction, –market depth, –price predictability.

26. 13-26 INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS Liquidity and Asset Pricing Pástor and Stambaugh studied price reversals. Conclusion: Liquidity risk is a priced factor. Price reversals may occur when traders have to offer higher purchase prices or accept lower selling prices to complete their trades in a timely manner.

27. 13-27 INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS Equity Premium Puzzle The equity premium puzzle says : –historical excess returns are too high and/or –our usual estimates of risk aversion are too low.

28. 13-28 INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS Consumption Growth and Market Rates of Return What matters to investors is not their wealth per se, but their lifetime flow of consumption. Measure risk as the covariance of returns with aggregate consumption.

29. 13-29 INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS Consumption Growth and Market Rates of Return The lower panel of Table 13.5 shows: –a high book-to-market ratio is associated with a higher consumption beta –larger firm size is associated with a lower consumption beta.

32. 13-32 INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS Expected versus Realized Returns FF- –Found an equity premium only after 1949 –Capital gains significantly exceeded the dividend growth rate in modern times. –Equity premium may be due to unanticipated capital gains.

33. 13-33 INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS Survivorship Bias Estimating risk premiums from the most successful country and ignoring evidence from stock markets that did not survive for the full sample period will impart an upward bias in estimates of expected returns. The high realized equity premium obtained for the United States may not be indicative of required returns.

34. 13-34 INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS Liquidity and the Equity Premium Puzzle Part of the equity premium is almost certainly compensation for liquidity risk rather than just the (systematic) volatility of returns. Ergo, the equity premium puzzle may be less of a puzzle than it first appears.

35. 13-35 INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS Behavioral Explanations of the Equity Premium Puzzle Barberis and Huang explain the puzzle as an outcome of irrational investor behavior. The premium is the result of narrow framing and loss aversion. –Investors ignore low correlation of stocks with other forms of wealth –Higher risk premiums result
