Consumption beta
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In finance, consumption beta refers to a concept in an asset pricing model where the reward-to-risk ratio of an asset is dependent not on its sensitivity (or beta coefficient) to overall market risk, as it is in the classical Capital Asset Pricing Model, but rather on its sensitivity to overall aggregate consumption.[1] It was first proposed by Douglas Breeden in 1979.[2]
