This paper examines the relationship between the market weight of a single stock and the betas of both that stock and the residual portfolio. Theory suggests that the effect of such a large weight is to significantly reduce the beta of the residual portfolio, and it may also significantly raise...

We study the macroeconomic consequences of financial market concentration in a complete markets economy with production. We propose a theory in which differences in preferences, productivity, and risk exposure generate gains from trade, but these gains are not fully realized because some large...

We study an economy with a CEO who trades off the incentive to divert funds, which leads to underinvestment, against the incentive to overinvest based on his optimism. In equilibrium, we see overinvestment relative to what the shareholder or a social planner would implement but underinvestment...

The study tries to practically use the widely taught Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) model for making investment decisions on Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) –500 Index. Using CAPM, the study tries to investigate whether securities on BSE 500 are over-valued, properly valued or under-valued....

This article explores the behavior of the stock market in Colombia with the information given by the Bolsa de Bogota Index (Indice de la Bolsa de Bogota, IBB). The index is analyzed from January, 1930 to December, 1998. The inflation rate covers the same period; the inflation rate as measured by...

This paper proposes an empirical asset pricing test based on the homogeneity of the factor risk premia across risky assets. Factor loadings are considered to be dynamic and estimated from data at higher frequencies. The factor risk premia are obtained as estimates from time series regressions...

I propose an investment-based asset pricing model augmented with intangible capital and transient volatility shock. Already-acquired intangible capital and new R&D investment are complementary inputs in knowledge production. The distinctive evolutionary dynamics of intangible capital as opposed...

I study the asset pricing implications and the efficiency of a tractable dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model with heterogeneous agents and incomplete markets along the lines of Krebs (2003a). Contrary to previous applications of these types of models, I find that generically the...

The Capital Asset Pricing Model (henceforth, CAPM) is considered an extensively usedtechnique to approximate asset pricing in the field of finance. The CAPM holds thepower to explicate stock movements by means of its sole factor that is beta co-efficient.This study focuses on the application of...

We classify asset pricing anomalies into those that exacerbate mispricing (build-up anomalies) and those that resolve it (resolution anomalies). To this end, we estimate the dynamics of price wedges for a large number of well-known anomaly portfolios in the factor zoo and map them to firm-level...
