C. Predictive Regressions

it+1 = Et(rt+1) + Et(πt+1)

πt+1 = a + bit+1 + εt
D. Time-Varying Expected Stock Returns

Rt = a + bD/Pt-1 + eit

E. “Bubbles”
Asset Pricing Models

A. Fama and MacBeth (1973)

Rit = at + a1tbi + a2tMCi,t-1 + a3tB/Mi,t-1 + eit

B. The Fatal Problems of the CAPM


The Three-Factor Model

E(Rit) - RFt = bi[E(RMt) – RFt] + siE(SMBt) + hi E(HMLt)

The regression used to test the model is,

Rit - RFt = ai + bi(RMt – RFt) + siSMBt + hiHMLt + eit
