Price limits supposedly provide a cool-off period that allows investors to reassess the market conditions. They represent an implementation risk, a special form of arbitrage risk, that impedes arbitrageurs from engaging in arbitrage activities to correct for potential mispricing. We conjecture...

Based on the errors-in-variables-free approach proposed by Brennan <italic>et al</italic>. [<italic>J. Financial Econ.</italic>, 1998, <bold>49</bold>, 345--373], we investigate the competing explanatory capabilities of alternative multi-factor models when examining various asset-pricing anomalies using Japanese data for the period...

Industry returns cannot be explained fully by well-known asset pricing models. This study reveals that common factors extracted from industry returns carry significant risk premiums that go beyond the explanatory power of size, book-to-market (BM) ratios, and momentum. In particular, this study...

Unlike the U.S. and most developed countries, Taiwan stock market has been widely documented to have no value premium. Prior studies on the value premium typically adopt a conventional approach proposed by Fama and French (1992), which suggests a buy-and-hold strategy with annual rebalancing. We...

In a capital asset pricing model (CAPM) framework, Ferguson and Shockley [2003. Equilibrium "anomalies". Journal of Finance 58, 2549-2580] propose two factors constructed on relative leverage and relative distress, and show that the two factors subsume Fama and French's [1993. Common risk...

By applying Bai and Perron's [Bai, J., Perran, P., 1998. Estimating and testing linear models with multiple structural changes. Econometrica 66, 47-78] change-point model, we pinpoint the exact dates for structural breaks in the book-to-market premium. We find that overall the BM premium is...
