Some Hypotheses of the CAPM
1
Higher risk (Beta) should be associated with a higher level of return.
2
Return is linearly related to Beta for every unit increase in Beta,
there is the same increase in return.
3
The difference in average returns between two assets should be
entirely driven by difference in their Betas there should be no added
return for bearing nonmarket risk
4
If the CAPM holds, investing should constitute a fair game with respect
to it deviations of a security or portfolio from equilibrium should be
purely random and there should ne no way to use these deviations to
earn an excess prot.

Tests of the CAPM
Time Series Tests (Black, Jensen, and Scholes (1972))
Cross Sectional Tests (Fama and Macbeth (1973))
Time Series Tests (Black, Jensen, and Scholes
(1972))
Black, Jensen, and Scholes (1972) were the rst to conduct an in-depth
time series test of the CAPM
They took as their basic time series model:
R
it
R
Ft
=
i
+
i
(R
Mt
R
Ft
) +
it
If the CAPM holds
i
= 0
The estimated
i
measures the systematic departure of the return on
asset i from the CAPM benchmark

(1972)) contd.
Black, Jensen, and Scholes (1972)) performed the time series
regression on portfolios (instead of individual securities).
In order to maximize the spread in Betas across portfolios, they sorted
stocks into 10 portfolios based on their Betas.
Procedure:
Use 5 years of monthly data to estimate the Beta of each stock
and sort them into deciles
Compute monthly returns on the 10 portfolios over the next (i.e.,
sixth) year
Use data from second to sixth year to rank stocks and form
deciles that are considered portfolios for the seventh year, ...
This process is repeated until deciles and the return for each
decile is computed for 35 years
Each of the 10 portfolios is then used to perform the time series
regression

The model explains excess returns well (high values of correlation
coefcients) support for the linear equation as a good explanation of
security returns
However, the s vary quite a bit from zero.

Main ndings:
The average value of

zero residual risk has no effect on the expected return of a
security
2t
zero
1t
is statistically signicantly positive, albeit
smaller than the sample market risk premium support for linear
relation between expected return and Beta
0t
is greater than the sample average of the

Approach:
Sort stocks by Beta (
i
), size (ln(ME
i
)), and the ratio of the book
value of equity to the market value of equity (B/M
i
)
Estimate Beta for each stock and run the following cross-sectional

Size Effect
Beta explains almost nothing!
Size matters: Small rms have, on average, earned higher returns than
that implied by the CAPM

Book-to-Market Effect
Value stocks (i.e. stocks that trade at less than their fundamental) tend
to outperform Growth or glamor stocks (i.e. the trendy ones on the
market perceived to have high growth potential)
