Cross section of expected stock returns

Fama and MacBeth [1973] sort stocks on the New York Stock Exchange into 20 portfolios based on their market [beta]. They test for, and conclude that, [beta] does in fact explain the cross-sectional variation in average stock returns for the 1926-1968 period.

Vivek Singh* If a certain firm characteristic is found to be correlated with the cross-section of expected returns, a long-short portfolio can usually be constructed to proxy for the underlying unknown risk factor. It is this unknown risk factor that we have in mind when we classify particular firm characteristics as risk factors.

Ball (1978) argues that E/P is a catch-all proxy for unnamed factors in expected returns; E/P is likely to be higher (prices are lower relative to earnings) for stocks with higher risks and expected returns, whatever the unnamed sources of risk. Each month the cross‐section of returns on stocks is regressed on variables hypothesized to explain expected returns. The time‐series means of the monthly regression slopes then provide standard tests of whether different explanatory variables are on average priced.

Out-of-sample forecasts from FM regressions provide a simple, yet surprisingly effective, way to form a composite trading strategy going long high-expected-return stocks This paper studies the cross-sectional properties of return forecasts derived from Fama-MacBeth regressions. These forecasts mimic how an investor could, in real time, combine many firm characteristics to obtain a composite estimate of a stock’s expected return.

While our focus is on the cross-section of equity returns, our message applies to many different areas of finance. For instance, Frank and Goyal (2009) investigate

Vivek Singh* If a certain firm characteristic is found to be correlated with the cross-section of expected returns, a long-short portfolio can usually be constructed to proxy for the underlying unknown risk factor. It is this unknown risk factor that we have in mind when we classify particular firm characteristics as risk factors. So for instance, if you look at the CAPM, that's a model that explains the cross section of stock returns with only one factor, the systematic risk of a stock. Since the CAPM is empirically not successful in explaining the stock returns completely, there are other models, such as the Fama-French 3 factor-model. characteristic is found to be correlated with the cross-section of expected returns, a long-short portfolio can usually be constructed to proxy for the underlying unknown risk factor.

Hundreds of papers and hundreds of factors attempt to explain the cross-section of expected returns. Given this extensive data mining, it does not make any economic or statistical sense to use the usual significance criteria for a newly discovered factor, e.g., a t-ratio greater than 2.0.
