Linear Regression

• A model where one variable Yt is linearly explained by a group of variables
(X1t, · · · , Xkt), t = 1, · · · , T

• Easy to Implement
• Versatile for financial data analysis
• Foundation for more advanced models

• General formulation
• Yt = �1 + �2Xt1 + �3Xt2 + · · ·+ �KXtK + µt, t = 1 · · · , T
• Yt: dependent variable
• Xt1, · · ·XtK : explanatory variables, regressors
• �1,�2, · · · ,�K : parameters (to be estimated)
• µt: error term
• T : number of observations

Application 1: Capital Asset Pricing Model aka CAPM

One of the most important problems of modern financial economics is the
quantification of the tradeo↵ between risk and expected return. Common
sensesuggests risky investments (stock market) will generally yield higher
returns than investments free of risk!

• Markowitz (1995) casts the investor’s portfolio selection problem in terms
of expected return and variance of the return.

! Investors optimally hold a mean-variance e�cient portfolio: a portfolio
with the highest expected return for a given level of variance.

=) The E�cient Frontier & Capital Market Line
• Capital Asset Pricing Model is concerned with the pricing of assets in

equilibrium. In equilibrium, all assets must be held by someone.

�! How investors determine the expected returns—and thereby asset
prices—as a function of risk.

=) The Security Market Line

• Given that: some risk can be diversified, diversification is easy and
costless, and rational investors diversify

• There should be no premium associated with diversifiable risk.
• The question becomes: What is the equilibrium relation between

systematic risk and expected return in the capital markets?

• The CAPM is the best-known and most-widely used equilibrium model of
the risk/return (systematic risk/return) relation.

CAPM Intuition

What would be a ”fair” expected return on any stock?

• E(Rit) = Rft (risk free)+ Risk Premium
• Risk free assets earn the risk-free rate (think of this as a rental rate on

capital). The risk free compensate for time.

• If the asset is risky, we need to add a risk premium.
• The size of the risk premium depends on the amount of systematic risk for

the asset (stock, bond, or investment project) and the price per unit risk.

• Rit �Rft: Excess return

CAPM Intuition Formalized

E [Rit] = Rft +
Cov (Rit, Rmt)
V ar (Rmt)

[E [Rmt]�Rft]

E [Rit] = Rft + �i [E [Rmt]�Rft]

The expression above is referred to as the ”Security Market Line”.

• E [Rmt]�Rft Market Risk premiun (compensation for risk) or the price
per unit of risk

• �i: number of units of systematic risk
• �i > 1 (or < 1): the asset is more (less) risky than the market portfolio • �i < 0 : the asset is a hedge against the market portfolio • �i how sensitive the asset to market movement R.

All rights reserved. This copyright notice must not be removed from this material. Three inputs are required: (i) An estimate of the risk free interest rate. The current yield on short term treasury bills is one proxy. Practitioners tend to favor the current yield on longer-term treasury bonds but this may be a fix for a problem we don’t fully understand. (ii) An estimate of the market risk premium, E [Rmt]�Rft. Expectations are not observable. Generally use a historically estimated value. The market is defined as a portfolio of all wealth including real estate, human capital, etc. In practice, a broad based stock index, such as the S&P 500 or the portfolio of all NYSE stocks, is generally used. (iii) An estimate of beta. R.

Let Xmt = Rmt �Rft and Xit = Rit �Rft and consider the econometric Xit = ↵i + �iXmt + µit • The CAPM can be examined by testing H0 : ↵i = 0 • If ↵i > 0, asset i beats the market by earning more than �iE [Xmt]
• This has been used to test the performance of mutual funds (application

in the Brooks textbook)

CAPM: Application

What detremines the expected return of an asset?
Example: Mobil (a US petroleum firm), 1978:01-1987:12 with T = 120.
