Abstract

This paper applies Bayesian variable selection methods from the statistics literature to
give guidance in the decision to include/omit factors in a global (linear factor) stock
return model. Once one has accounted for country and sector, it is possible to see which
style or styles best explains current asset returns. This study does not find compelling
evidence for global styles as useful explanatory factors, once country and sector have
been accounted for.
