Serial Correlation and Market Efficiency – Price Momentum and Earnings Momentum Economics 437
Definition of Market Efficiency (Shiller)……………once again where
Implications of EMH (“Market Efficiency”) • Stock prices should not be “serially correlated” • There should no “mean reversion” • There should be no “earnings momentum” • Or “stock price momentum” • Or “delayed reaction to news” • In general, no predictability of prices
The issue of pricing market risk Recall CAPM: E[Ri] = Rf + β {E[RM] – Rf} Β is a “risk factor”…….are there others Regression against risk factors: R = α + β1X1 + β2 X2 +….. Βn Xn…………….
Over and under reaction • De Bondt & Thaler • Over reaction to cumulation of (good, bad) news (leads to “mean reversion”) • Jegadeesh & Titman • Under reaction to single item of (good, bad) news (leads to “earnings momentum,” “price momentum”
Sadka “Role of Liquidity Risk • Liquidity proxied by “price impact” • Variable permanent • Fixed transitory • Conclusion • Liquidity is a risk factor that can explain • Good news momentum • Earnings momentum
Chordia and Shivakumar “Earnings and Price Momentum” • Compares the PMN to the WML portfolios • PMN explains most of the WML gains • PMN relates to macroeconomic activity
Kathari, Lewellen, Warner “Stock Returns, Aggregate Earnings Surprises and Behavioral Finance” • Aggregate surprises do not provide momentum • Correlated with interest rate increases • Offset by interest rate increasses • Consistent with momentum at the firm level • Results are inconsistent with models that predict that rates and cash flows should move in opposite directions
