CAPM and APT

In this document, I use the package ”gmm”. You can get it the usual way through R or though the development website RForge for a more recent version. For the latter, you can install it by typing the following in R: > install.packages("gmm", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org") The data I use come with the package and can be extracted as follows: > > > > library(gmm) data(Finance) R > > > >

They use a particular test for multivariate linear models. If we look at the p-values, it says that we don’t reject the hypothesis that all αi are zero. We can therefore reestimate the model without the intercept: > res2 res2

Zero-beta CAPM (Black)

The zero-beta CAPM is based on the properties of the portfolio frontier. One of them tells us that for each efficient portfolio rp of risky assets, there exists a portfolio on the lower part of the portfolio frontier, rzp , which is uncorrelated with it. Its β defined as Cov(rp , rzp )/V ar(rp ) is therefore 0. That’s why the model is called the zero-beta CAPM. Let γ = E(rzp ), then the theory says that E(Rt − γ) = βE(Rpt − γ) We can estimate the model asset by asset using nonlinear least square (NLS). The formula must be in the form r = γ(1 − β) + βRm . Let g and b be γ and β, we can compare the estimates of γ as follows: > > + + + + + + model > > > > >
