Empirical results show the Fama-French 5 factors are still alive! The new model has better in-sample fit than the 5-factor model in Fama and French (2015).展开更多
In this paper, we analyze US stock market with a new 5-factor model in Zhou and Li (2016) [1]. Data we use are 48 industry portfolios (Jul. 1963-Jan. 2017). Parameters are estimated by MLE.

Parameters are estimated by MLE. LR and KS are used for model diagnostics. Model comparison is done with AIC. The results show Fama-French 5 factors are still alive. This new model in Zhou and Li (2016) [1] fits the data better than the one in Fama and French (2015) [2].展开更多
