course aims to provide students with solid theoretical frameworks in asset pricing and other fields of finance. For asset pricing‚ the concepts of risk and return‚ and state prices will be introduced as a stepping stone towards the discussions of more advanced topics including the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)‚ the Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT)‚ and other more recent asset pricing models. Other topics in finance such as options and behavior finance may also be covered on an optional basis. Besides

CAPITAL ASSET PRICING MODEL The Capital Asset Pricing Model deals with independent investor problems that needs to undergo the procedure of selection of securities involving risks. The investors need to select the most advantageous security that produces the best possible outcome. This model deals with the estimation of securities as well as it links the risk and return (the expected shares). There is a direct relationship and risk and return provides higher expected return from that security

Dichotomous Asset Pricing Model Evidence from the UK market 1. Introduction Ever since its introduction by Sharpe-Lintner-Black‚ the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) has been subject to criticism‚ appraisal and continuous efforts for improvement‚ such as the Reward Beta approach (Bornholt‚ 2007)‚ conditional CAPM or the consumption CAPM. The Dichotomous Asset Pricing Model (DAPM)‚ introduced by Professor Liang Zou at the Universiteit van Amsterdam‚ brings a fresh approach to asset pricing and contributes

BINOMIAL THEOREM : AKSHAY MISHRA XI A ‚ K V 2 ‚ GWALIOR In elementary algebra‚ the binomial theorem describes the algebraic expansion of powers of a binomial. According to the theorem‚ it is possible to expand the power (x + y)n into a sum involving terms of the form axbyc‚ where the coefficient of each term is a positive integer‚ and the sum of the exponents of x and y in each term is n. For example: The coefficients appearing in the binomial expansion are known as binomial coefficients.

The binomial theorem is a simplified way of finding the expansion of a binomial to a certain power. We can of course find the expanded form of any binomial to a certain power by writing it and doing each step‚ but this process can be very time consuming when you get into let’s say a binomial to the 10th power. Example: (x+y)^0=1 of course because anything to the power if 0 equal 1 (x+y)^1= x+y anything to a power of 1 is just itself. (x+y)^2= (x+y)(x+y) NOT x^2+y^2. So expand (x+y)(x+y)=x^2+xy+yx+y^2

Question (2010/2011 Exam – Q7 (section B)): The Capital Asset Pricing Model holds in economies satisfying a certain set of conditions. State four of these conditions and identify why they are essential for the model to hold (you are not expected to derive the entire model but you must identify the steps in the theory where these conditions play an important role). Under 7 sets of key assumptions‚ we know that all agents will hold a particular market portfolio‚ which consists of the same proportion
