The Interdependent Structure of Security Returns

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 October 2009

Extract

In this paper the traditional capital asset pricing model is reformulated as a system of simultaneous equations in which returns on similar securities are treated as endogenous variables and in which pertinent financial data for particular firms and a market factor are treated as exogenous variables. Such a system is estimated, and serious questions are raised concerning the tenability of the simple linear model so often used to explain capital asset prices under uncertainty.
