The Capital Asset Pricing Model: theory and evidence
Article Abstract:
The Capital Asset Pricing model (CAPM) of William Sharpe (1964) and John Lintner (1965) marks the birth of asset pricing theory. The attraction of the CAPM is that it offers powerful and intuitively pleasing predictions about how to measure risk and the relation between expected return and risk.
