The development of downside accounting beta as a measure of risk

Abstract: This paper develops a new method for measuring market risk called downside accounting beta (DAB). To test the validity of DAB the method is applied to the financial data for 14 food companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange during a 6-year period. DAB calculates how changes in the profitability of the whole sector affects the profitability of a given company. The paper concludes that when calculating DAB using Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE) there is a positive correlation with market bet… Show more

“…This view was not substantiated due to lack of correlation between growth and ROE. The negative association between ROE and systematic risk is in contrast to the positive relationship evidenced by Melicher (1974) and Rowe and Kim (2010). It appears that persistent low ROE is a significant risk factor.…”

“…However, a low ROE persisting for some time can also increase the risk of the firm. Melicher (1974) and Rowe and Kim (2010) evidenced positive relationship between ROE and systematic risk. This study expects ROE will have significant association with systematic risk.…”

“…The impact of accounting measures of risk on market measures of risk was found in previous studies on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. It was identified for Polish food, construction, and IT companies, as well as companies composing some of the WSE indices (WIG-20, WIG-40, and WIG-80) [9][10][11][12][13]. Similar research was conducted on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.…”

Rutkowska-Ziarko and Pyke [38] introduce the downside accounting beta suggesting to use it for the measurement of the systemic risk. Altigan et al [1] claim that the downside beta valuation is not sufficient for the asset pricing on international markets contrary to the results for the US equity market.…”
