  1. Emerging Financial Markets9: International Cost of Capital Prof. J.P. Mei Many material here is adopted from Erb, Harvey, Viscanta’s presentation at Ibbotson Associates’ Cost of Capital Conference

  2. International Cost of Capital Models • Identical Cost of Capital (for all locations) • World CAPM or Multifactor Model (Sharpe-Ross) • Segmented/Integrated (Bekaert-Harvey) • Credit Rating (Erb-Harvey-Viskanta) • Goldman-integrated sovereign yield spread model • Goldman-segmented • Goldman-EHV hybrid • CSFB volatility ratio model

  3. The International Cost of Capital • Identical Cost of Capital • Ignores the fact that shareholders require different expected returns for different risks • Destroys value • Avoid

  4. The International Cost of Capital • Segmented/Integrated CAPM • Bekaert and Harvey (1995) • If market integrated, world CAPM holds • If market segmented, local CAPM holds • If going through the process of integration, a combination of two holds

  5. The International Cost of Capital • Segmented/Integrated CAPM • Expected return a function of covariance with world and covariance with local index • Weights determined by variables that proxy for degree of integration, like size of trade sector and equity market capitalization to GDP • Weights are dynamic, as are the risk loadings and the risk premiums • Downside:hard to implement; only appropriate for countries with equity markets

  6. The International Cost of Capital • Credit Rating Model • Erb, Harvey and Viskanta (1995) • http://www.duke.edu/~charvey/applets/iccrc.html • Credit rating a good ex ante measure of risk • Impressive fit to data • Intuitive • Can be used in 136 countries, that is, in countries without equity markets • Fits developed and emerging markets

  7. The International Cost of Capital • Goldman-Integrated (EHV Hybrid) • Estimate market beta on the S&P 500 • Beta times historical US premium • Add sovereign yield spread • Goldman model only useful if you have sovereign yield spread • Use EHV model to fit ratings on yield spread

  8. The International Cost of Capital • CSFB • E[r]=SY+ß{E[r-RF] x A} x K • SY= Brady bond yield (or use fitted from EHV) • ß= beta of a stock against a local index • A= the coefficient of variation (CV) in the local market divided by the CV of the US market, where CV= standard deviation/mean • K is an adjustment factor to allow for correlation between risk free and risk premium (set=0.6)
