Session 6: Betas and Costs of Equity

Session 6: Betas and Costs of Equity

In this class, we started by tying some loose ends on equity risk premiums and then reviewing the pitfalls of regression betas. We went on to talk about bottom up betas, focusing on defining comparable firms and expanding the sample. I did make a big deal about bottom up betas, but may have still not convinced you or left you hazy about some of the details. If so, I thought it might be simpler to just send you a document that I put together on the top ten questions that you may have or get asked about bottom up betas. I think it covers pretty much all of the mechanics of the estimation process, but I am sure that I have missed a few things.
