Journal ArticleDOI
Economic Forces and the Stock Market
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors test whether innovations in macroeconomic variables are risks that are rewarded in the stock market, and they find that these sources of risk are significantly priced and neither the market portfolio nor aggregate consumption are priced separately.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Adjustment of Stock Prices to New Information
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the process by which common stock prices adjust to the information (if any) that is implicit in a stock split and show that the independence of successive price changes is consistent with a market that adjusts rapidly to new information.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Hubris Hypothesis of Corporate Takeovers
TL;DR: The hubris hypothesis is advanced as an explanation of corporate takeovers by Jensen and Ruback as mentioned in this paper, who argued that the evidence supports the hubris hypotheses as much as it supports other explanations such as taxes, synergy, and inefficient target management.
Journal ArticleDOI
A critique of the asset pricing theory's tests Part I: On past and potential testability of the theory
TL;DR: In this paper, a mathematical equivalence between the individual return/beta linearity relation and the market portfolio's mean-variance efficiency is discussed, which implies that every individual asset must be included in a correct test.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Simple Implicit Measure of the Effective Bid‐Ask Spread in an Efficient Market
TL;DR: In this article, the effective bid-ask spread is measured by Spread = 2−cov where cov is the first-order serial covariance of price changes, and is shown empirically to be closely related to firm size.
