The Risk-Return Relationship : Can the Prospect Theory be Applied to Small Firms, Large Firms and Industries Characterized by Different Asset Tangibility?

Berglind, Lukas, Westergren, Erik January 2016 (has links)
In 1979 Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky created the prospect theory. It became an accepted and appropriate theory in explaining decision making under risk. The prospect theory has been one of the most cited articles in economics and Kahneman received the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences as a result of the creation and development of the theory. Therefore the prospect theory is considered to be more suitable compared to the previously accepted theory, the expected utility theory. Following the prospect theory, researchers have utilized it to describe individual but also corporate management decision making when faced with risk. In this thesis the authors will focus on the latter. Despite the prospect theory being a well-accepted theory, there have been several critics due to its limitations and Audia and Greve (2006) are one of these critics. Their study suggested that corporations under threat, i.e. small firms with low returns, act risk averse. The findings of Audia and Greve (2006) violate the prospect theory when considering small firms that have below target returns. They tested the theory on an industry that has the characteristics of having relatively high proportions of tangible assets. Audia and Greve (2006) also proposed that a similar conclusion could be drawn if tested on an industry characterized by having a high level of intangible assets. This thesis examines the applicability of the prospect theory in the Swedish automotive industry and staffing and recruitment industry. The characteristics of the two industries are that the automotive industry has a high proportion of tangible assets and the staffing and recruitment industry has a high level of intangibles. The authors test if the prospect theory can be used to describe the decision making of both industries but also test the theory on small and large firms. Following the results of this paper we show that the prospect theory can be applied to the Swedish automotive industry and staffing and recruitment industry, characterized by having high levels of tangible assets and intangible assets respectively. The theory can also be used to explain decision making under risk for small firms within both industries and large firms within the automotive industry. Even though the prospect theory was originally tested on individuals, the conclusion can be drawn that the prospect theory once again prevails as an explanation of the decision making in the management of corporations. It can describe the decision making of firms in the two industries having characteristics of different asset tangibility and for firms of different size.

FAMA and R. FRENCH, 2015) with two new variables. This was done by creating a six-factor model aimed at capturing the size, value, profitability, investment and governance patterns in average stock returns. An additional seven-factor model was also created by adding a herding factor. Governance and herding were chosen as additional factors because of a hypothesis that they would be relevant in less efficient markets such as Brazil. The evaluation of the two model´s performance versus the traditional five-factor model was performed next, as well as the assessment of relevance of the newly added factors. Testing the six-factor model, it had a similar performance to the five-factor model, and the governance factor proved to be relevant in the Brazilian market. Adding the herding factor weakened the results, although the factor still proved to be relevant in some cases. / O objetivo desta dissertação é avaliar a relação risco-retorno de ações incrementando o modelo de cinco fatores de Fama e French (F. FAMA and R. FRENCH, 2015) com duas novas variáveis. Isso foi feito criando um modelo de seis fatores que busca capturar os padrões de tamanho, valor, lucratividade, investimento e governança nos retornos médios de ações. Um modelo adicional de sete fatores também foi criado adicionando um fator para o efeito manada. A governança e o efeito manada foram escolhidos como fatores adicionais por conta da hipótese de que eles seriam relevantes em mercados menos eficientes como o Brasil. A avaliação da performance dos dois modelos contra o modelo tradicional de cinco fatores foi então realizada, bem como a avaliação da relevância dos novos fatores. Testando o modelo de seis fatores, descobrimos que ele tem uma performance semelhante ao de cinco fatores, e o fator de governança mostrou ser relevante no mercado Brasileiro. Adicionando o fator para o efeito manada enfraqueceu os resultados, embora o fator ainda mostrou-se relevante em alguns casos.

[pt] A VOLATILIDADE IMPLÍCITA COMO PROGNÓSTICO DE RETORNO DAS AÇÕES: UMA EXPERIÊNCIA EMPÍRICA BRASILEIRA / [en] IMPLIED VOLATILITY AS A PREDICTOR OF STOCK RETURNS: A BRAZILIAN EMPIRICAL EXPERIENCE

SIDNEI DE OLIVEIRA CARDOSO 04 August 2022 (has links)
[pt] Esta pesquisa investiga primeiramente, por meio de regressões, a relação entre as volatilidades implícitas das opções e os retornos futuros de 20, 40 e 60 dias das ações subjacentes no mercado acionário brasileiro. Essas regressões são então submetidas a testes de heterocedasticidade para garantir que não são regressões espúrias. Por fim, submetemos os resultados a um teste de robustez que confirma as regressões válidas e verifica a presença de autocorrelação nas séries de retornos futuros. O período analisado é de janeiro de 2011 a dezembro de 2021 em um total de onze anos completos. Apesar de apresentarem coeficientes de regressão significativos, nem todas essas regressões passam pelos testes, e sempre deve-se ter cautela ao usar uma volatilidade implícita de opção como sendo capaz de prever retornos das ações subjacentes no mercado brasileiro. / [en] This research first investigates, through regressions, the relationship between the implied volatilities of options and the future returns of 20, 40 and 60 days of the underlying stocks within the Brazilian stock market. These regressions are then subjected to heteroscedasticity tests to ensure that they are not spurious regressions. Finally, we submit the results to robustness tests to confirm the valid regressions and verify the presence of autocorrelation in the series of future returns. The period under analysis is from January 2011 to December 2021, totalling 11 years. Despite having significant regression coefficients, not all of these regressions pass the tests, and one should always exercise caution when using an option implied volatility as a predictor of underlying equity returns in the Brazilian market.
