An Examination of the Time Series Properties of Beta in the Market Model
市场模型中贝塔系数的时间序列性质检验
Understanding the stochastic behavior of beta is fundamental to portfolio risk management. We evaluate the time series properties of beta for oil industry stocks, machinery industry stocks, and a random sample of 100 stocks. Daily returns for stocks in each of these industries and the random sample are obtained from the Center for Research in Security Prices tapes for the period July 1962 through December 1986 and are grouped into 98 quarter-year, and also 49 half-year,…
