Abstract

This paper addresses a portfolio selection problem with trading costs on stock market. More precisely, we develop a simple GMM-based test procedure to test the significance of rading costs effect in the economy with a áexible form of transaction costs. We also propose a two-step procedure to test overidentifying restrictions in our GMM estimation. In an empirical analysis, we apply our test procedures to the class of anomalies used in Novy-Marx and Velikov (2016). We show that transaction costs have a significant effect on investors behavior for many anomalies. In that case, investors significantly improve the out-of-sample performance of their portfolios by accounting for trading costs. Cet article traite du problème de sélection de portefeuilles avec des coûts de transactions sur le marché des actions. Plus précisément, nous développons une procédure de test basée sur la méthode des moments généralisée pour tester l’effet des coûts de transaction de forme flexible sur l’économie. Nous proposons aussi une approche en deux étapes pour construire un test de suridentification. Dans une analyse économique, nous appliquons nos procédures de test à la classe d’anomalies étudiées par Novy-Marx et Velikov (2016). Nous montrons que les coûts de transaction ont un effet significatif sur le comportement des investisseurs pour beaucoup d’anomalies. Dans ce cas, les investisseurs améliorent de manière importante la performance hors-échantillon de leurs portefeuilles en tenant compte des coûts de transaction.
