Der deutsche Aktienmarkt sah sich in den letzten 15 Jahren substantiellen Veränderungen gegenüber, welche unter anderem in eine zunehmende Internationalisierung und deutlich erhöhten Streubesitz mündeten. In der vorliegenden Arbeit untersuchen wir, inwieweit dies die aus klassischen...

Asset pricing in its essence is a very controversial topic. Despite numerous research papers criticising traditional approaches, such as linear factor models, practitioners as well as academics repeatedly return to the milestone models such as the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), mainly due...

This article aims to extend evaluation of the classic multifactor model of Carhart (1997) for the case of global equity indices and to expand analysis performed in Sakowski et. al. (2015). Our intention is to test several modifications of these models to take into account different dynamics of...

This study investigates the robustness of the Fama and French three-factor model in the context of the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges spanning the period 1995–2008. We show that the three-factor model does a meaningful job in describing the cross-section of stock returns in this...

We develop a two-country international asset pricing model in which investors are heterogeneous. Exchange rate dynamics give rise to a currency risk premium, uncovered interest parity is violated. Countries whose output growth is expected to be sufficient to satisfy growth in demand have high...

This paper assesses the effectiveness of traded turnover, Amihud (2002) and Liu (2006) metrics in measuring illiquidity, as used in a multifactor CAPM. The performance of this model is contrasted using a unique sample from Japan's regional stock exchanges, namely Sapporo, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Osaka...

The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) predicts a positive relation between risk and return, but empirical studies find the actual relation to be flat, or even negative. This paper provides a broad overview of explanations for this ‘volatility effect' that have been proposed in different...
