本文以模擬實驗法比較四種預期報酬模式(市場模式(MM)、CAPM、三因子模式(3FM)及四因子模式(4FM))分別搭配OLS 估計式、GARCH 模式及其與OLS 混合在短期事件研究法中偵測異常報酬的能力。另外,也使用Jensen's績效指標來評估上述後三種模式。研究發現:在傳統法架構下,OLS法並不比另兩種較複雜的估計式差;3FM 與4FM 略優於MM和CAPM,因其有較低的估計偏誤和較小的型-錯誤,但其實MM和CAPM已有不錯的表現。在Jensen's績效指標架構下,CAPM優於3FM和4FM,因其有較低的型-錯誤和較高的檢定力。但當事件日不確定及(或)異常報酬很小時,兩種架構的檢定力均偏弱。
This paper compares the performance of four expected return estimation models-the MM, CAPM, 3FM, and 4FM-separately using OLS estimator, GARCH model, and mix of OLS and GARCH-for finding AR in traditional short-horizon event study, using simulation experiments. Moreover, Jensen's performance index is employed to evaluate the last three models. The conclusions are that under a traditional framework, OLS is not inferior to the other complex estimators. 3FM and 4FM somewhat dominate the MM and CAPM because of lower estimation bias and slightly smaller Type I error, though the last two models' performance is already satisfactory. Under Jensen's performance index, CAPM is superior to 3FM and 4FM due to lower Type I error and higher power. Both event-study frameworks have weak power in experiencing uncertain event day and/or tiny AR.
