Chapter 22 in Capital Market Finance, 2022, pp 929-962 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter presents a model that expresses expected returns at equilibrium, assuming that the market portfolio is efficient. The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) was developed in the 1960s and radically changed the way of thinking in capital market finance. Its central message is that, for any financial asset, the relation between risk and return is positive and linear. It has since experienced many applications, been subjected to innumerable empirical tests, and remains a dominant paradigm despite continual attacks, both theoretical and empirical. Section 22.1 is devoted to its derivation and interpretation, Sect. 22.2 to its main applications, Sect. 22.3 to some of its extensions, Sect. 22.4 to criticisms that have been made against its validity, and Sect. 22.5 to econometric tests.
