Testing the CAPM: Mobil Exxon
The CAPM implies that the market rewards investors for the market risk
E(Ri)−Rf = βi [E(Rm −Rf )]
where Ri is the return on an asset i, and Rm is the return on the market index.
• To estimate the CAPM: Run an OLS regression of excess returns on asset
i, Xi,t, on the market excess return Xm,t
Xi,t = αi + βiXm,t + µt
• If the CAPM holds, the null hypothesis H0 : αi = 0 Ha : αi 6= 0
(two-tailed test)

Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT)
What determines the expected return of an asset?
Excess returns: Xi,t = Ri,t −Rf,t and Xm,t = Rm,t −Rf,t
E(Xi,t) = αi + βiE(Xm,t)
RPi = αi + βiRPm
where RPi: risk premium for asset i, RPm: market risk premium
2 APT (Arbitrage Pricing Theory)
E(Xi,t) = RPi = αi + βiRPm + βotherRPotherfactors

Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT)
What determines the expected return of an asset?
• APT (Arbitrage Pricing Theory): if there are r risk factors priced in
the fiunancial market, then:
RPi = αi + βiRPm + βi,1RP1 + · · ·βi,rRPr
• RPj is the risk premium for exposure to factor j risk;, j = 1, · · · , r.
• βi,j is the sensitivity of the asset to factor j; it also measures asset i’s
exposure to the factor risk j
Dr. School of Economics Slides-03
Testing the CAPM Application: Arbitrage Pricing Theory Model Test for autocorrelation Test for Heteroskedasticity Model Stability Summary
So what are the other risk factors in the APT?
A well established APT Model in the finance literature is the Fama&French
three factor model: FamaFrench
RPi = αi + βi.mRPm + βi.sRPs + βi.hRPh + βi.uRPu (1)
• RPm is the market risk premium
• RPs is the size factor risk premium (small market capitalisation)
• RPh is the value factor risk premium (high book-to-market stocks)
• RPu is the momentum risk factor premium (prior gains)
• βi.m, βi.s, βi.h and βi.u are the betas for the market risk, size factor, value
factor and momentum respectively

Example 1: Expected Return
Based on the following data and a risk-free rate of return of 2%, compute
expected return under APT model.
Beta of each factor Factor Risk Premium
βi.m 1.2 RPm 5.1
βi.s 0.8 RPs 0.5
βi.h 0.2 RPh 0.95
βi.u -0.1 RPu 2.5
E(Ri) = Rf + αi + βi.mRPm + βi.sRPs + βi.hRPh + βi.uRPu
= 2%+ 1.2∗5.1% + 0.8∗0.5% + (0.2)∗0.95% + (−0.1)∗2.5%

Question 1: NIKE
Given the risk-free rate of return of 1.0%, average return of Nike (i.e: S&P 500
company with small market cap) of 15.88% p.a and the data provided in table
Q1(a) Compute the expected return of the NIKE under APT model;
Q1(b) Determine the alpha return of the NIKE;
Q1(c) Construct a portfolio comprising S&P500 index fund (market portfolio),
Wilshire 5000 index fund, Russell 1000 value index fund and US T-Bills to
replicate the expected return of Nike.

RPs 0.6701 14.65% 0.15%
RPv -0.0288 10.38% -4.12%
(i) RPm is the market risk premium, i.e: excess of S&P500 return over the risk-free rate of return;
(ii) RPs is the size factor risk premium , i.e: excess of Wilshire 5000 index returns over the S&P500 returns (iii) RPv is the value
factor risk premium , i.e: excess of Russell 1000 index returns over the S&P500 returns.

Solution to Question 1
E(RNKE) = Rf + βNKE,m(Rm −Rf ) + βNKE,s(Rs −Rm) + βNKE,v(Rv −Rm)
(i) E(RNKE) =
1.0% + (0.7877)(13.49%) + (0.6701)(0.15%) + (−0.0288)(−4.12%) = 11.85%
(ii) αNKE = Actual return – Expected return = 15.88%− 11.85% = 4.03%
(iii) Replicating portfolios’ weights:
E(Ri) = Rf + βi,mE
+ βi,sE (Rs −Rm) + βi,vE (Rv −Rm)
= Rf (1− βi,m) + (βi,m − βi,s − βi,v)E(Rm) + βi,sE(Rs) + βi,vE(Rv)
= wi,RfRf + wi,mE(Rm) + wi,sE(Rs) + wi,vE(Rv)
wi,Rf = 1− βm = 1− 0.7877 = 0.2123
wi,m = βi,m − βi,s − βi,v = 0.7877− (0.6701)− (−0.0288) = 0.1464
ws = βi,s = 0.6701
wv = βi,v = −0.0288

Solution to Question 1 continued
Replicating portfolio: (a) long position :21.23% in US T-Bills,
(b) long position: 14.64% in market portfolio (or S&P500 market index fund),
(c) long position: 67.01% in Wilshire 5000 index fund, and
(d) short 2.88% in Russell 1000 value index fund.
Computing the expected return of replicating portfolio:
Rf = 1.0% WRf = 0.2123
E(Rm) = 14.5% Wm = 0.1464
E(Rs) = 14.65% Ws = 0.6701
E(Rv) = 10.38% Wv = −0.0288
0.2123∗1.0% + 0.1464∗14.5% + 0.6701∗14.65%− 0.0288∗10.38%

Robust Standard Errors

• The key assumption is E(µt|Xt) = 0
(which my be weakened to Cov(Xt, µt) = 0).
Can we test for this ’key assumption’? How would the test look like?
• Even when there is heteroskedasticity or autocorrelation in µt, the OLS
estimators are still consistent. However, the standard errors of the
estimators are incorrect and MUST be corrected.
• In practice, we should always use robust standard errors that correct the
effect of heteroskedasticity and/or autocorrelation:
1 White standard errors (correct heteroskedasticity)
2 Newey-West (HAC) standard errors (correct jointly heteroskedasticity and
autocorrelation.)
