Did you ever wonder ‘about the various asset pricing models and their explanatory powers for emerging market context’?
Prof. Kewal Singh‘s research paper published in International Journal of Managerial Finance, investigates the explanatory power of the Fama-French five-factor model and compares it to the other asset pricing models.
