Korean Stock Markets Challenge Traditional Asset Pricing Models, Revealing New Insights
The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) doesn't fully explain stock returns in the Korean market. Factors like firm size, book-to-market ratio, and earnings-to-price ratio play a significant role in predicting stock returns. Other models like the Fama and French three-factor model are more effective in explaining Korean stock returns. Various testing methods have been used to analyze these models, highlighting the need for different approaches in asset pricing research.
