Table 5.17: Summary: significance CAPM estimates for best out-of-sample testing procedure. For each transaction cost case, the table shows the number of indices for which significant estimates are found at the 10% significance level for the coefficients in the Sharpe-Lintner CAPM. In panel A the local main stock market index and in panel B the MSCI World Index is taken to be the market portfolio in the CAPM estimations. Columns 1 and 2 show the number of indices for which the estimate of α is significantly negative and positive. Columns 3 and 4 show the number of indices for which the estimate of β is significantly smaller and larger than one. Column 5 shows the number of indices for which the estimate of α is significantly positive as well as the estimate of β is significantly smaller than one. Column 6 shows the number of indices for which the estimate of α is significantly positive as well as the estimate of β is significantly larger than one. Note that the number of indices analyzed is equal to 51.
