  • Testing Feasibility of Measuring Market Risk by Predicted Beta with Liquidity Adjustment1
    Testing Feasibility of Measuring Market Risk by Predicted Beta with Liquidity Adjustment1 State University – Higher School of Economics Laboratory of Financial Markers Analysis Abstract The present paper assesses the CAPM predicted beta coefficient which is employed by a number of Russian investment companies in the calculation of a discount rate for future cash flows valuation. It is common practice to estimate the target stock price within the DCF method using the single-factor CAPM where the beta coefficient is the only measure of investment risk. A shift from the historical to the predicted beta coefficient is due to low liquidity of the majority of Russian stocks which results in rather low historical beta coefficients obtained by regressing on historical data. The paper assesses a new method of calculating the beta coefficient introduced by Aton Investment Company which dismisses company’s industry-specific characteristics while accentuating company’s size (measured by market capitalization) and liquidity (measured by the free-float coefficient). The sample size is 72 Russian stocks traded on the Russian Trading System (RTS) Stock Exchange. The sample period is from 2007 to the first half of 2008. Key words: CAPM, historical beta, free-float, adjusted beta, predicted beta adjusted for liquidity. 1 A working paper version. Problems in application of CAPM in emerging capital markets The single-factor equilibrium Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) of the rate of return on equity and equity risk premium (ERP) remains the most popular one for setting a discount rate which is further used in calculating the equity (company) fair price within the Discounted Cash Flow method (DCF).

    Market power issues in the reformed Russian electricity supply industry EPRG Working Paper 1333 Cambridge Working Paper in Economics 1358 Nadia Chernenko Abstract The paper examines long-run and short-run levels of market power in the liberalised Russian electricity market. We observe that despite potential for market power abuse, actual exercise of market power as measured by price-cost markups remained low. We attribute the result to the bid-at-cost rule implemented as a part of a special unit commitment procedure on the day-ahead market. We first look at the restructured industry and discuss the mergers and acquisitions and their impact on competition in long term. The M&A were undertaken in different market zones and thus did not seem to increase concentration (HHI remains almost unchanged) although with future zone integration competition in long run is put at risk. We then examine short-run level of market power by estimating hourly price-cost mark-ups and assessing their dynamics in 2010 and 2011, a year preceeding and following the G PAPER market liberalisation respectively. Using time series models (AR models) N we reject hypothesis of actual market power abuse. Further, using a Tobit regression we find that the liberalisation decreased the mark-ups by about 1.66 percetage points. .Keywords Russian electricity market, liberalisation, market power, concentration, price-cost mark-ups JEL Classification L11, L13, L94 Contact [email protected] Publication June 2013 EPRG WORKI Financial Support Trinity College Eastern European Research Bursary www.eprg.group.cam.ac.uk EPRG 1333 Market power issues in the reformed Russian electricity supply industry Nadia Chernenko October 2013 Abstract.
