The generous support for this work is most gratefully acknowledged. The author is also much indebted to his colleagues Professors Bishop, Christenson, Kahr, Raiffa, and (especially) Schlaifer, for extensive discussion and commentary on an earlier draft of this paper; but responsibility for any errors or imperfections remains strictly his own.[Professor Sharpe's paper, “Capital Asset Prices: A Theory of Market Equilibrium Under Conditions of Risk” (Journal of Finance, September 1964) appeared after this paper was in final form and on its way to the printers. My first section, which parallels the first half of his paper (with corresponding conclusions), sets the algebraic framework for sections II, III and VI, (which have no counterpart in his paper) and for section IV on the equilibrium prices of risk assets, concerning which our results differ significantly for reasons which will be explored elsewhere. Sharpe does not take up the capital budgeting problem developed in section V below.] (1975)On Persistence in Mutual Fund Performance (1997)The Valuation of Risk Assets and the Selection of Risky Investments in Stock Portfolios and Capital Budgets (1965)Returns to Buying Winners and Selling Losers: Implications for Stock Market Efficiency (1993)Illiquidity and stock returns: cross-section and time-series effects (2002)Determinants of corporate borrowing (1977)Corporate financing and investment decisions when firms have information that investors do not have (1984)Agency Costs of Free Cash Flow, Corporate Finance, and Takeovers (1986)The determinants and implications of corporate cash holdings (1999)Testing Trade-Off and Pecking Order Predictions About Dividends and Debt (2002)Capital Structure Decisions: Which Factors Are Reliably Important?
