| Abstract: | In this note, we examine the theoretical effect of inflation and risk on asset returns. From the fundamental prediction of the capital asset pricing model, we first relate the expected nominal rate of return of the asset to its inflation beta (estimated by the covariance between the asset’s nominal rate of return and the rate of inflation, divided by the variance of the inflation rate). Then, we show that the equilibrium expected rate of return on risky asset can be expressed by a linear combination of its standard beta and inflation beta. This result indicates that inflation rate, in addition to market return, influences asset returns. This result also suggests that inflation risk, in addition to market risk, should be priced in the cross-section of asset returns. |
