Introduction
We've looked at portfolio analysis, now it's time to take a crack at the first big model of the course., the Capital Asset Pricing Model, (CAPM), developed by Sharpe, Lintner, and others.
In this lecture, then, We'll derive the CAPM from first principles, then show a few examples of the model in action, look at it's history, and then ask whether CAPM is still useful.
Length: 50 mins.
