In this paper, a set of tests of models of relative capital asset pricesis developed.

The tests are used to examine how well the models explain maturity premiums on Government bonds, though they are perfectly general and hence could be applied to stocks or other assets.

Asset Pricing Model Specification and the Term Structure Evidence. [Terry A Marsh; National Bureau of Economic Research.;] -- In this paper, a set of tests of models of relative capital asset pricesis developed.

The tests are used to examine how well the models explain maturity premiums on Government bonds, though they are Written by one of the leading experts in the field, this book focuses on the interplay between model specification, data collection, and econometric testing of dynamic asset pricing models.

The first several chapters provide an in-depth treatment of the econometric methods used in  › Books › Business & Money › Economics. Summary statistics appear on the left side of Table 1 for yields and on the right side for slope-adjusted yield changes, Eq.

The yield portion of the table is similar to that in Diebold and Li (), who consider the subperiod from through Thus, on average, the term structure of interest rates is strictly upward-sloping, from Each model--consumption based, CAPM, multifactor, term structure, and option pricing--is derived as a different specification of the discounted factor.

The discount factor framework also leads to a state-space geometry for mean-variance frontiers and asset pricing  › Books › Business & Money › Management & Leadership. The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) of William Sharpe () and John Lintner () marks the birth of asset pricing theory (resulting in a Nobel Prize for Sharpe in ).

In relative pricing we infer an asset’s value given the prices of some other asset. Black-Scholes option pricing is the classic example of this approach. The central and un nished task of asset pricing theory is to understand and measure the sources of aggregate risk that drive asset prices.

Of course, this is also the   An Overview of Asset Pricing Models Andreas Krause University of Bath School of Management Phone: + (, pp ff.).

Introduction. Consumption-based general equilibrium asset pricing, pioneered by Stiglitz (), Lucas (), and Breeden (), remains a workhorse model in financial economics and approach relates asset prices to risk and time preferences, dividend payments, and other fundamental determinants of asset values.

Although the results of this section do not depend on the specific form of σ s, if the spot asset is a discount bond then σ s must vanish at maturity in order for the bond price to reach par with prob-ability 1.
