Industry Effects and Multivariate Stock Price Behavior

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 October 2009

Extract

Models of return generation for securities are potentially important for a number of reasons, including their possible utility in normative portfolio construction. Multi-index models of the process are frequently suggested as an alternative to the familiar single-index models, but, while the multi-index models are intuitively appealing, their empirical superiority remains largely undemonstrated. This paper examines the extent to which three multi-index models succeed in eliminating dependence in the return residuals for a portfolio of common stocks. The relevance of this research lies in the promise that, while obviously requiring additional inputs to determine the efficient set of portfolios, multi-index models may succeed in identifying a more accurate set of efficient portfolios.
