- Title
The Value Premium and the CAPM.
- Authors
FAMA, EUGENE F.; FRENCH, KENNETH R.
- Abstract
We examine (1) how value premiums vary with firm size, (2) whether the CAPM explains value premiums, and (3) whether, in general, average returns compensate β in the way predicted by the CAPM. Loughran's (1997) evidence for a weak value premium among large firms is special to 1963 to 1995, U.S. stocks, and the book-to-market value-growth indicator. Ang and Chen's (2005) evidence that the CAPM can explain U.S. value premiums is special to 1926 to 1963. The CAPM's more general problem is that variation in β unrelated to size and the value-growth characteristic goes unrewarded throughout 1926 to 2004.
