For US firms with extreme foreign exchange (FX) exposure levels, we ask whether the single-factor global capital asset pricing model (CAPM) yields significantly different cost of equity estimates from the local CAPM. For a sample of US firms from 2000 to 2007, we find a clear and statistically...

This study uses U.S. implied cost of equity observations to compare the CAPM with both ex ante and ex post versions of the Fama-French three-factor model. The ex ante version is a simple theoretical model that requires mutual consistency among the factor risk premium estimates, given the...

We examine the empirical relationship between estimates of ex ante cost of equity and risk for a sample of individual emerging market equities for the period 1990-2000. The ex ante cost of equity estimates are obtained using the residual income valuation model. As in studies that use mean...

Cost of equity estimates are compared for three pricing models: the traditional local CAPM, the single (market) factor global CAPM, and the two-factor global CAPM, with both market and currency index factors. For 2989 US stocks, the average difference in the cost of equity estimates is about 48...
