Abstract

We examine the link between technology prospect and stock returns in the Australian market. Our results suggest that the technology-based asset pricing model outperforms the CAPM and Fama-French three-factor models in explaining the cross-section of the Australian Fama-French 25 size/book-to-market portfolios. The results prove robust to using alternative estimation methods and continue to supports the importance of the technology factor for shaping the cross section of the Fama-French portfolios returns.
