Do assumptions about factor structure matter in empirical tests of the APT?

Article Abstract:

An empirical testing of the Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT) multifactor model of security returns was conducted using the data taken from 69 securities that were traded on the London Stock Exchange. The objective of the research is to examine whether assumptions matter in the testing of the APT model and its effects on the prices of risks. Results indicate that the returns on the securities are best defined by approximate factor structures. The findings suggest, therefore, that assumptions matter in the APT model test.
