What is The Arbitrage Model of Security Returns : an Empirical Evaluation about?

Over the last two decades, the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) has emerged as the dominant theoretical basis for much of the research in financial economics. Because direct observation of the market portfolio is a pre-requisite for any valid application of the CAPM, it cannot serve as a theoretical basis for empirical research in securities markets. The Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT) is a theoretical alternative to the CAPM in which the market portfolio plays no particular role. The purpose of this research is to develop and test a model of the security return generating process based on the APT. Particular emphasis is placed on two facets of the proposed arbitrage model. First, the central prediction of the APT is an absence of arbitrage opportunities, the empirical identification of which would lead to a rejection of the theory. Thus, the first use to which the model is put is the examination of abnormal performance for the securities individually and jointly. The second application involves an event study comparison of the arbitrage model and a popular variant of the market model. The objective of this comparison is to establish the stability and usefulness of the arbitrage m
