A paper jointly authored by Adjunct Professor Mark Tippett of the School of Accounting and Commercial Law in the Victoria Business School has received the 2012 Abacus Manuscript Award.
This prestigious award is based on the recommendation of an expert panel of academics and practitioners and was announced on 5 August 2013 at the Annual Conference of the American Accounting Association in Anaheim, California.
The paper, co-written with Ian Davidson of the University of Sussex, Qian Guo of Birkbeck College in the University of London and Xiaojing Song of the University of East Anglia, is entitled "Constructing Asset Pricing Models With Specific Factor Loadings". It identifies serious deficiencies in the procedures traditionally used by empirical researchers to assess the sensitivity of risky asset returns to commonly employed risk factors.
Since 1965 Abacus has consistently provided a vehicle for the expression of independent and critical thought on matters of current academic and professional interest in accounting, finance and business.
