Popularity: A Bridge between Classical and Behavioral Finance

- Defining “popularity,” or how much a security is liked, apart from the fundamentals: The more investors like it, the higher the price but the lower the expected return.
- A new approach to asset pricing—the popularity asset pricing model (PAPM)—builds on the CAPM but includes additional investor preferences beyond risk aversion, such as liquidity and brand preference. These specific preferences are aggregated into security prices and are not arbitraged away.
- Preferences can be rational (classical) or emotional (behavioral), so the PAPM provides a bridge between classical and behavioral finance.
