Summary:碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 財務金融研究所 === 95 === Fama and French (1993) propose three-factor capital asset pricing model consisting of market factor, firm size factor, and BE/ME factor to explain average stock return. In addition, Griffin and Lemmon (2002) use the probability of bankruptcy (O-score) as a natural proxy for firm distress and find that O-score is related to stock return since it can capture the additional information about stock return above BE/ME. Therefore, this study builds a new capital pricing model using Fama and French’s three-factor model plus financial distress factor (O-score) to check whether this new model could explain the stock returns more complete than Fama and French’s three-factor model. Finally, this study also compares this new four-factor model with Carhart’s (1995) four-factory model and makes some suggestions for the later research. This study finds that our four-factor model has stronger explanative power than Fama and French’s three-factor model since the intercepts are more insignificant different from zero and the adjusted R-square becomes higher than Fama and French’s three-factor model.
