Extract

Among the many financial problems facing managers of firms, capital budgeting problems are often the most important. Over the years these problems have received considerable attention from financial economists with more recent work emphasizing two separate approaches. One currently popular approach to capital budgeting is based on the simple linear relationship between risk and return from the intertemporal capital asset pricing model (CAPM) of Merton [20]. Papers in this category include Brennan [7], Bogue and Roll [4], Treynor and Black [26], Myers and Turnbull [21], Fama [15], Bhattacharya [2], and Constantinides [9].
