Book Description
This paper analyses the ability of beta and other factors, like firm size and book-to-market, to explain cross-sectional variation in average stock returns on the Swedish stock market for the period 1980-1997. We use a bivariate GARCH(1,1) process to estimate time-varying betas for asset returns. The estimated variances of these betas, derived from a Taylor series approximation, are used for correcting errors in variables problem. Our model accounts for problems such as cross-sectional and intertemporal heteroscedasticity. An Extreme Bounds Analysis is utilized for testing the sensitivity of the estimated coefficients to changes in the set of included explanatory variables. Since the tests are carried out on realized returns, which presumably are quite noisy approximations of expected returns; we also analyze if the variables play different roles depending on if it is a Bull or Bear market. Our results show that the coefficient for beta is never significantly different from zero, while variables book to market, size and leverage have significant coefficients. Different sensitivity analyses suggest that the results, to some extent, may be due to cross-correlations between the variables, the characteristics of the extreme periods included in the sample, the average sign of the excess market return during the sample period, and the choice of the estimation and test methods. The findings also show that the estimated conditional beta is a more accurate measure of the true market beta than the beta estimated by OLS.
