This paper was written while the author was at the Centre d'Enseignement Supérieur des Affaires, France. Eugene Fama, Michael C. Jensen, John B. Long, Jr., Stephen Ross and Bruno H. Solnik provided many useful comments and Patricia Porter provided excellent secretarial service. While the paper was being written, Fama pointed out that his new book (1976) contains some of the same analysis and conclusions. New papers by Stephen Ross (forthcoming) and John B. Long (1976) contain results emphasized, and formerly believed to have been discovered, here. The reader will be able to verify, however, that most of this material is non-redundant.
To the authors criticised here: these papers were singled out because they are the best and most widely read on the subject. I have written some papers in this area too and have taught the subject to a number of unsuspecting students. So, the absence of detailed self-criticism should be attributed to the greater importance of the other papers and does not imply any personal prescience. None was present.
