Model – ICAPM Pricing Equation
Following Campbell and Vuolteenaho (2004), decomposing the
market return into cash-‡ow news and discount-rate news

Covt [ri ,t +1 , NRISK ,t +1 ]
2
If γ > 1, price of risk for cash-‡ow news is larger than that for
discount-rate news
Risk averse investors will demand a higher premium to hold assets that
covary with market’s cash-‡ow news
Extra term shows the risk premium associated with exposure to news
about future risks
By-product of relaxing conditional homoscedasticity
An asset providing positive return when risk expectation increase will
o¤er a lower return

Key assumption: σ2t , equal to the conditional variance of market
returns, governs time-variation in the variance of all shocks to this
system.
Both market returns and state variables, including volatility itself, have
innovations whose variances move in proportion to one another

State Variables – Short-run Volatility Estimation
Given heteroscedasticity of innovations to their variables, they
estimate the regression using Weighted Least Squares (WLS )
The results indicated Past realized variance strongly predicts future
realized variance.
An increase in either PE or DEF predicts higher future realized
volatility
Higher PE predicts higher RVAR might seem surprising
PE cleans up the information in DEF concerning future volatility
R 2 is heavily in‡uenced by occasional spikes in realized variance

RVAR, EVAR have high persistence and high correlation with DEF .
In Early sample (1926-1963), PE is negatively correlated with RVAR,
VS and EVAR
Re‡ects the high volatility that occurred during Great Depression when
prices were relatively low
In modern sample (1963-2011), PE is uncorrelated with RVAR but
positively correlated with VS and thus positively correlated with
EVAR
Re‡ects the episodes with high volatility and high stock prices,
Technology boom of the later 1990s were more prevalent in the modern

Higher conditional variance EVAR is associated with higher future

Both high PE and DEF predict higher future conditional variance of
returns
High past market returns forecast a lower EVAR, higher PE and lower
DEF
High correlation among PE , DEF , VS and EVAR complicates the
interpretation of individual e¤ect.
They also documented sample correlation and autocorrelation
matrices of both the unscaled residual σt ut +1 and the scaled residuals

Volatility is strongly predictable by realizations of volatility itself, PE
and DEF .
In order to capture the long-horizon component of volatility, they

Even those like FIGARCH or EGARCH that are designed to …t
long-run movements in volatility, and the VAR method for calculating

Small stocks have higher cash-‡ow betas and discount-rate betas

In pre-1963, high CAPM beta stocks have both higher cash ‡ow and
higher discount-rate betas than low CAPM beta stocks
On average 0.19 higher in βCF and 0.44 higher in βDR
Low volatility stocks have higher cash ‡ow and discount-rate betas
than high volatility beta stocks in this sub-sample
On average 0.06 higher in βCF and 0.11 higher in βDR
High CAPM beta and low volatility stocks are also riskier in terms of
volatility beta
High CAPM beta stocks have 0.04 lower in (negative) βV , on average
Low volatility stocks have 0.023 lower in (negative) βV , on average
In summary, high CAPM beta and low volatility beta stocks were
unambiguously riskier than low CAPM beta and high volatility beta
stocks in the pre-1963 periods.

In the modern period, high CAPM beta stocks again have higher βCF
and βDR
However, high CAPM beta stocks are no longer riskier in terms of
volatility beta βV
0.07 higher (positive) βV than low CAPM, on average.
Three-beta model potentially explains why stocks with high past CAPM
betas have o¤ered relatively little extra return in the modern period.
In the post-1963 period, high volatility stock is still riskier with 0.06
lower (positive) βV than low volatility stock
Sorts on volatility stock also generated spread in βDR , but no spread

Recall: Consist of S&P 100 index straddle position and three equity
factors, and the default bond factor over the period 1986-2011
Consistent with the nature of a straddle bet, (betting for volatility)
Straddle has a very large volatility beta of 0.38. Large negative
discount-rate beta of -1.71, and a large negative cash-‡ow beta of -0.39
With higher βCF , βDR and lower βV , high interest rate countries are

In pre-1963 period, all models explain the cross-section of stock
returns reasonably well
For the Black version of the three-beta ICAPM, the spread in
volatility betas generates an annualized spread in average returns of
1.6% compared to a comparable spread of 7.3% and 3.2 % for
cash-‡ow and discount-rate betas
Variation in volatility betas accounts for 2% of the variation in

In modern sample, restricted zero-beta CAPM and three-beta model

Unconstrained zero-beta rate version of the two-beta model does a
better job than CAPM but with implied γ of 20.7
Restrict the risk price for discount-rate and variance news and allow
an unrestricted zero-beta, huge improvement for …t.
With implied γ of 6.9, neither version of ICAPM with stochastic
volatility is rejected at the 5% level
For the Black version of the three-beta ICAPM, the spread in
volatility betas generates an annualized spread in average returns of
5.2% compared to a comparable spread of 2.8% and 2.2 % for
cash-‡ow and discount-rate betas
Variation in volatility betas accounts for 104% of the variation in

Negative βV for HML and successful zero-beta rate ICAPM pricing in
