Abstract: This paper evaluates the ability of the multifactor model of Campbell

(1993, 1996) to explain time-series and cross-sectional patterns of

Danish stock and bond returns. The model is obtained by substituting

consumption out of the intertemporal budget constraint of the representative

agent in the traditional consumption-based capital asset pricing

model (C-CAPM). This enables the model to be estimated without the

use of consumption data. Estimation of the model results in reasonable

preference parameter estimates. Unlike previous research based on this

model, the restrictions implied by both the conditional and unconditional

model are generally not rejected, and Hansen and Jagannathan’s (1997)

specification error measures generally imply small pricing errors.
