Systematic risk behavior in cyclical industries: The case of shipping
2016, Transportation Research Part E: Logistics and Transportation ReviewCitation Excerpt :Using an extended version of the single-index market model that allows beta to change over different economic regimes by including a dummy variable, they find that systematic risk in single stocks experiences statistically significant shifts between expansion and recession periods. Using similar methodology, but allowing beta to interact with macroeconomic conditions, Abell and Krueger (1989) find that industries are affected by different macroeconomic factors. In another strand of literature, and closely related to our study, Andersen et al. (2005) model time-varying systematic risk in a state-space framework assuming that macroeconomic factors directly impact the stochastic process underlying beta.
Do asset backed securities ratings matter on average?
2015, Research in International Business and FinanceCitation Excerpt :While the rating agencies have agreed to some of the criticism and have been working with the regulators to provide better quality and more credible rating, our results indicate that the rating changes on the asset backed securities are overshadowed by other key factors that have contributed to the crisis. In fact our results are in line with the literature highlighting the validity of macroeconomic variables in security analysis, see for example Chen et al. (1986), Abell and Krueger (1989), Gangemi et al. (2000). This study is primarily motivated by the market's lack of understanding towards the complexities of asset backed securities and the associated criticism that the rating agencies have faced during the global financial crisis.
Conditional market beta for REITs: A comparison of modeling techniques

2012, Energy PolicyCitation Excerpt :Previous research has found that company specific factors like debt ratios, profitability ratios, and firm size can impact systematic risk (Rosenberg et al., 1973; Rosenberg and Marathe, 1975; Rosenberg and Guy, 1976; Thompson, 1978). Abell and Krueger (1989), investigating the impact of macroeconomic factors on systematic risk, find that interest rates, budget deficits, trade deficits, inflation, and oil prices to significantly influence beta. In general, larger firms are more likely to have more extensive resources, capabilities and experience in deploying their resources, realize economies of scale and have higher productivity (Caves and Barton, 1990) or profitability (Bradburd and Ross, 1989).
The changing sensitivity of realized portfolio betas to U.S. output growth: An analysis based on real-time data
2011, Journal of Economics and BusinessCitation Excerpt :A key challenge is to trace out factors that drive time variation in portfolio betas. Results reported in earlier literature suggest that macroeconomic factors in general and output growth in particular may play an important role in this respect (Abell & Krueger, 1989; Chan & Chen, 1988; Chen, 1991; Chen, Roll, & Ross, 1986; Vassalou, 2003; to name just a few).1 Output growth may be thought of to represent changing economic conditions that drive cash flows and payouts of firms.
