A new alternative diffusion model for asset price movements is presented. In contrast to the popular approach of Brownian motion it proposes deterministic diffusion for the modelling of stock price movements. These diffusion processes are a new area of physical research and can be created by the...

We make two methodological modifications to the method of testing CAPM beta and we show that these significantly affect … inferences about the association between CAPM beta and stock returns. While the conventional beta proxy is indeed largely … beta’s deficiencies do not seem to outperform beta. This suggests that weak empirical support for CAPM beta is likely …
