In a recent book, Kolari et al. developed a new theoretical capital asset pricing model dubbed the ZCAPM. Based on out-of-sample cross-sectional tests using U.S. stocks, the ZCAPM consistently outperformed well-known multifactor models popular in the finance literature. This paper presents...

This book proposes a new capital asset pricing model dubbed the ZCAPM that outperforms other popular models in empirical tests using US stock returns. The ZCAPM is derived from Fischer Black's well-known zero-beta CAPM, itself a more general form of the famous capital asset pricing model (CAPM)...

We present the derivation of cost of capital under the assumption of risky tax shields discounted with the cost of levered equity. We show that the formulation is consistent and is derived from basic financial principles. This formulation is valid for finite cash flows and non growing...
