This article examines the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) over different frequencies utilizing a recently developed multiscaling method: wavelet analysis. Our empirical analysis shows that the risk factors are more relevant at the lower frequencies than at the higher frequencies in the...

We show that standard beta pricing models quantify an asset's systematic risk as a weighted combination of a number of different timescale betas. Given this, we develop a wavelet-based framework that examines the cross-sectional pricing implications of isolating these timescale betas. An...
