Many researchers have tried to relax the original assumptions and generalize the static CAPM. We survey the important alternative theoretical models of capital asset pricing and provide a complete review of the evolution of asset pricing models. We also discuss the interrelationships among these models and suggest several possible directions for future research. Our results might be used as a guideline for future theoretical and empirical research in capital asset pricing. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.enAsset pricing models | CAPM | Modern capital market theoryjournal article10.1007/s11156-013-0348-x2-s2.0-84897662490https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/84897662490
