Costs of equity capital and model mispricing

Article Abstract:

It is worth considering whether factor-based pricing models have potential for use by those responsible for making decisions about company finances. Research in this area has used the CAPM pricing model, where the single factor is specified to be the excess return on a market index portfolio, a model with three factors extracted from returns on a large cross section of stocks and a model containing the market factor plus two additional factors. It has been established that costs of equity capital implied by factor-based pricing models can be estimated in a Bayesian setting.
