We show how to conduct asymptotically valid tests of model comparison when the extent of model mispricing is gauged by the squared Sharpe ratio improvement measure. This is equivalent to ranking models on their maximum Sharpe ratios, effectively extending the GRS test to accommodate comparison...

Since Black, Jensen, and Scholes (1972) and Fama and MacBeth (1973), the two-pass cross-sectional regression (CSR) methodology has become the most popular approach for estimating and testing asset pricing models. Statistical inference with this method is typically conducted under the assumption...

Many claim that GAAP financial information has become largely irrelevant to explaining valuations. Core et al. compare financial information's value relevance for the New Economy stocks with other stocks. We supplement their analysis with new evidence on the economic determinants of the...
