Abstract

A new approach for estimating divisional betas is developed in this study. The approach is based on a sound theoretical foundation; utilizes all available information, yet still has parsimonious data requirements; can be implemented with simple statistical tools; and provides unambiguously interpretable results. The proposed methodology is applied to a large sample of stocks. The results indicate that the proposed methodology can more accurately estimate divisional betas than other approaches previously advocated in the finance literature.
