Although the conditional covariances of returns with … consumption exhibit negative variation across size, they do not vary across the book-to-market ratio. Thus, the C-CAPM can capture … improves the fit of the C-CAPM, however. The value effect appears to be associated with book-to-market ratio as well as size …
