Specification tests of a market model of Asia-Pacific stock returns: Thailand and Hong Kong
Article Abstract:
Two specification tests were applied to determine which stock return generating process, value-weighted or equally-weighted, is more efficient in developing a market model for stock returns for two Emerging Asian Stock Markets: Thailand and Hong Kong. Results of tests rejected the use of equally-weighted market returns for characterizing the market model. This indicates that value-weighted market returns are the most applicable method to use to explain individual stock returns.
