Dear Satalist

Yes I think you understand it correctly. The problems you have identified are the problems I was having conceptually. Yet stata command wise I was even struggling with creating these portfolios (remembering I am trying to create new portfolios every year dependent on the variable size). The code I tried to use was:

bysort year size: egen portfolio = xtile(size), nq(10)

this brings up the error value "too many variables" Is there a way around this? I was thinking of -sample()- do you know if this is the only option I have at this point to create the portfolios?

Thanks for your consideration,
Chris

So if I understand this model

    R = constant + beta*RM

it is estimated using all the stocks in the portfolio? in which case it doesn't make sense that R is constant for that portfolio, as you suggest. On the other hand, if the model is estimated using the 10 portfolios as observations, it's not clear how RM is constructed for each portfolio.

Dear Statalist

Ultimately I would like to do both. Try it with one regression per portfolio per year and then different regressions each day of the year and compare results. To understand the concept easier I think trying the first method might be a good idea, as such I have collapsed my dataset into years as suggested.

J you are correct I need to create R as to then run the regression:

R= contant + BETA.RM + error

Then at the end of each year I rank the stocks by -Size- and divide them into 10 equal portfolios. Then I calculate the portfolio return R which is the -mean- of -return- for that porfolio. Finally estimating the regression and saving the BETA.

Thanks for your consideration,
Chris

It's not really clear what you are doing here.

Do you want one regression per portfolio, per year? IN that case, the first step would be -collapse- or otherwise restructure your dataset to have one record per stock for each year-portfolio; it's not critical to do this, but it will make things much easier.

Or do you intend a different regression for each day of the year?

Is the variable -reurn- (sic) the same as -R-, the portfolio return, or do you need to create that as well?

Dear Satalist
I'm using Stata/SE 12.1

I am trying to create a new variable called BETA. It follows the computation of many financial papers. Amihud 2002 gives a good description of what I am trying to do.

Extract paraphrased from Amihud (2002)accessed here http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1386418101000246 :

At the end of each year Y, stocks are ranked by their size and divided into ten equal portfolios. Next, the porfolio return R is calculated as the equally weighted average of stock returns in portfolio P on day T in year Y. Then, the market model is estimated for each portfolio P, P=1,2,....10

R= constant + BETA.RM + error  <- this is the Market Model (regression)

RM is the equally weighted market return and BETA is the slope coefficient. I will then save the BETA values and store them as a new variable.

Below is a sample of my data, the ID goes from 10006 to 93201 but with gaps inbetween. I am using daily stock data and therefore there are missing date values (such as weekends). The date goes from Jan 1964 to Dec 1997 (unless a stock has dropped out).

In the same dataset I have also created a date variable called date2 and a variable labelled lastdate which is the last date in that year. I was thinking this may help in solving my problem.

I have been reading about -xtile- and about looping. I have managed to sort by -size- and create a variable labelled -portfolio- that uses the -xtile- function. I have never looped before but have read that -foreach- or -forval- might be useful.

I welcome all suggestions or queries into more information.

Thanks for your consideration,
Chris
