Abstract
This thesis integrates 2 areas of financial research; research on the book-to-market (BM) anomaly and research on time-varying capital asset pricing models (CAPM). Fama and French (1992) introduced the BM anomaly to the academic literature and suggested that it might be driven by changes in economic variables missed by the static CAPM. Using the methodology developed in Schwert and Seguin (1990) this thesis directly tests the possibility that the BM is driven by changes in equity market volatility. This thesis does not find evidence to support the hypothesis that the BM effect is driven by changes in volatility.
