摘要
We form portfolios based on firm book-to-market equity ratios and apply stochastic dominance tests. Value (high bookto- market) portfolios dominate low book-to-market portfolios. Thus, value stocks are not rationally priced by the market and the book-to-market ratio is not an efficiently priced proxy for equity risk. We also find that the superior performance of value stocks is not due to the January effect.
