Abstract

Analyzing financial asset returns by identifying market-wide risk drivers and common firm-level characteristics that contribute to the explanation of expected asset returns has evolved into one major research field in the development of the modern asset pricing theory. The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) developed by Treynor (1962, 1961, Market value, time, and risk, “unpublished�?), Sharpe (1964), Lintner (1965a, b), and Mossin (1966) initiated this strand of research, which is referred to as the single-factor model. The single-factor model identifies a single index, or a market portfolio, as the sole driver of the return of financial assets and decomposes individual asset return risk into systematic and idiosyncratic components.
