We propose a unified set of distance-based performance metrics that address the power and extreme-error problems inherent in traditional measures for asset-pricing tests. From a Bayesian perspective, the distance metrics coherently incorporate both pricing errors and their standard errors....

This study develops an econometric model that incorporates features of price dynamics across assets as well as through time. With the dynamic factors extracted via the Kalman filter, we formulate an asset-pricing model, termed as the dynamic factor pricing model (DFPM). We then conduct...
