The Incompleteness Problem of the APT model
Jönköping University, Jönköping International Business School, JIBS, Economics, Finance and Statistics.
2011 (English)In: Computational Economics, ISSN 0927-7099, E-ISSN 1572-9974, Vol. 38, no 2, p. 129-151Article in journal (Refereed) Published
Abstract [en]

The Arbitrage Pricing Theory provides a theory to quantify risk and the reward for taking it. While the theory itself is sound from most perspectives, its empirical version is connected with several shortcomings. One extremely delicate problem arises because the set of observable asset returns rarely has a history of complete observations. Traditionally, this problem has been solved by simply excluding assets without a complete set of observations from the analysis. Unfortunately, such a methodology may be shown to (i) lead for any fixed time period to selection bias in that only the largest companies will remain and (ii) lead to an asymptotically empty set containing no observations at all. This paper discusses some possible solutions to this problem and also provides a case study containing Swedish OMX data for demonstration.

Abstract [en]

This thesis consists of four individual essays and an introduction chapter. The essays are in the field of multivariate statistical analysis of High dimensional data. The first essay presents the issue of estimating the inverse covariance matrix alone and when it is used within the Mahalanobis distance in High-dimensional data. Three types of ridge-shrinkage estimators of the inverse covariance matrix are suggested and evaluated through Monte Carlo simulations. The second essay deals with incomplete observations in empirical applications of the Arbitrage Pricing Theory model and the interest is to model the underlying covariance structure among the variables by a few common factors. Two possible solutions to the problem are considered and a

case study using the Swedish OMX data is conducted for demonstration. In the third essay the issue of outlier detection in High-dimensional data is treated. A number of point estimators of the Mahalanobis distance are suggested and their properties are evaluated. In the fourth and last essay the relation between the second central moment of a distribution to its first raw moment is considered in an financial context. Three possible estimators are considered and it is shown that they are consistent even when the dimension increases proportionally to the number of observations.
