Abstract: In this article, we analyse whether simple Consumption-based Capital Asset Pricing Models (CCAPMs) using monetary conditioning information (growth of the money aggregates M1, M2 and M3) can explain the cross-section of German size, book-to-market and industry portfolio returns. Our results show that models having stochastic discount factor parameters that vary with money aggregates can reduce the pricing errors of models with constant parameters. However, a large proportion of the cross-sectional variation remains unexplained.
