Summary:碩士 === 淡江大學 === 財務金融學系 === 85 === The Capital Assets Pricing Model (CAPM) is widely used in financial fields , but it''s still inconsistent with a considerable body of empirical evidence . Some reasons have been proposed to explain the inconsistency betwween the empirical results and the predicted results of the CAPM .However , so far it''s still unsatisfied . This study will focus on the number of sample each portfolio . The purpose of this study is to re- evaluate the suitability of the CAPM in Taiwan stock market when the number of sample each portfolio increases . The sample period selected by this study includes weekly , monthly , and quarterly data , from 1991 to 1996 . The conclusions are the following : 1.The CAPM indicate that the higher risk is , the higher return is . But the relation between risk and return in Taiwan stock market is not clear . 2.The systematic risk (beta) is unable to explain the return of stocks completely in Taiwan stock market . 3.From weekly , monthly , and quartely data , all the beta values of portfolio are between 0.7 and 1.1 . In other word , the beta is very centralized . From the empirical results of this study , the CAPM is not suitable forTaiwan stock market during the sample period .
