We study factor models that combine latent factors with firm characteristics and propose a new framework for modeling, estimating, and inferring pricing errors. Following Zhang (2024), our approach decomposes mispricing into two distinct components: inside alpha, explained by firm characteristics but orthogonal to factor exposures, and outside alpha, orthogonal to both factors and characteristics. Our model generalizes those developed recently such as Kelly et al. (2019) and Zhang (2024), resolving issues of orthogonality, basis dependence, and unit sensitivity. Methodologically, we develop estimators grounded in low-rank methods with explicit debiasing, providing closed-form solutions and a rigorous inferential theory that accommodates a growing number of characteristics and relaxes standard assumptions on sample dimensions. Empirically, using U.S. stock returns from 2000-2019, we document strong evidence of both inside and outside alphas, with the former showing industry-level co-movements and the latter reflecting idiosyncratic shocks beyond firm fundamentals. Our framework thus unifies statistical and characteristic-based approaches to factor modeling, offering both theoretical advances and new insights into the structure of pricing errors.
高维因子定价模型的柯西聚合岭检验
In high-dimensional factor pricing models, the power of regularized alpha tests depends on the ridge parameter, whose optimal value varies with the unknown direction of pricing errors. We address this tuning uncertainty by combining ridge-specific p-values using the Cauchy rule. The resulting test retains the least-squares alpha estimator and residual sample covariance and accommodates more assets than observations. We establish the joint Gaussian limits of the component…
资产定价模型中 Alpha 的一般随机化检验
We propose a methodology to test for the null hypothesis that the alphas of a panel of asset returns are jointly equal to zero in a linear factor pricing model with observable and tradable factors — that is, the null of “zero alpha”. The test is based on equation-by-equation estimation, using a randomized version of the estimated alphas, which only requires rates of convergence. The distinct features of the proposed methodology are that it does not require the estimation of…
Beta 排序组合的计量经济学性质
Beta-sorted portfolios---portfolios comprised of assets with similar covariation with selected risk factors---are a popular tool in empirical finance to analyze models of (conditional) expected returns. Despite their widespread use, little is known of their econometric properties in contrast to comparable procedures such as two-pass regressions. We formally investigate the properties of beta-sorted portfolio returns by casting the procedure as a two-step nonparametric…
资产定价因子模型检验:样本外视角
We develop the Sample Splitting Alpha (SSA) test, a formal out-of-sample (OOS) test for evaluating whether an asset pricing factor model satisfies the zero-alpha restriction in high-dimensional settings. The test uses sample splitting to separate portfolio weight estimation from model evaluation and ridge regularization to stabilize the portfolio problem when the number of test assets is large. We show that each single split SSA statistic is asymptotically Gaussian under…
预期损失因子模型:共同尾部损失与预期收益
We develop an expected shortfall factor model (ESFM) to estimate and price common variation in the severity of lower-tail losses in large panels of asset returns. Mean factor models describe common variation in average returns, while quantile factor models describe common movements in tail thresholds. ESFM instead captures common variation in the average severity of losses below those thresholds. The model combines observed risk exposures with latent common factors. We…
检验两个短面板中的共同潜在因子
This paper develops inference tools for the number of common latent factors across two large cross-sectional panels observed over a short time span (large n, small T). Our approach builds on a general test for determining the dimension of the intersection of two matrix column spaces, where each matrix is estimated with noise. The proposed test statistics are based on canonical correlations, and their asymptotic distributions are derived via perturbation methods. An empirical…
