Eric MOLAYeric.molay@unice.frCEROG – IAE Aix en ProvenceRisk & Asset Management – EDHEC Nice The Cross-Section of the Expected Stock Returns at the Paris Stock Exchange
CAPM empirical validation ? • Positive linear relation : returns b • Cross-sectional returns anomalies : • Market value : RMV- > RMV+ • Book-to-market ratio : RBM+ > RBM- • No significant relation : returns b • CAPM three-factor model ?
Empirical analysis critics • Three-factor model APT • Data mining, selection and survivor bias • Investors psychology • Errors-in-variables problem (EIV)
Errors in variables problem • Relation between expected returns and beta : • Time series estimates of b : • Cross-sectional estimates of the relation between expected returns andb : • Are the cross-sectional coefficient estimates significant ?
Aim of this study • Cross-sectional analysis on the French market • Use of Fama et French 92 methodology • Relationship : • Expected stock returns b • Expected stock returns market value and book-to-market ratio • Expected stock returns s et h (three-factor model FF 93) • Do correction tothe Fama-MacBeth t-statistics
Database • Datastream International™ • Stocks returns at the Paris SE (mean : 250 ) • 120 months time series : July 88 June 98 • Arithmetic returns adjusted: • Dividend payments • Capital changes
Independent variables • Specific factors : • Market value : MV = P x N • Book-to-market ratio : BV/MV = NTA/MV • "Risk premiums" coefficients : • CAPM b • Fama et French three-factor model (FF 93) : • SMB (Small Minus Big) s • HML (High Minus Low) h
Expected returns b • Time-series estimates of the b over 30 months: • Cross-sectional estimates : expected returns b : • Fama-MacBeth t-statistics corrections : • EIV correction (Shanken 92) • GLSestimates (Ferson and Harvey 99)
Expected returns b, MV, BM • Time-series estimates of the b over 30 months: • Cross-sectional estimates: • Expected returns b • Expected returns MV and/or BM • Expected returns b and/or MV, BM • Adjusted Fama-MacBeth t-statistics: • GLS (Ferson and Harvey 99)
Expected returns b, s, h • Time-series estimates of the b, s and h over 30 months: • Cross-sectional estimates : expect. ret. b, s, h : • Adjusted Fama-MacBeth t-statistics • GLS (Ferson and Harvey 99)
Conclusion • No significant relation between expected returns and estimated coefficients b or s and h: • Errors in variables problem • Two-pass procedure problem • Significant relation between expected returns and: • Non estimated factors ("attributes") : MV and BM • b coefficient in association with MV, BM, s or h MV, BM, s et h conditional factors ?
