摘要：

We use returns across 13 African stock markets to perform factor-spanning tests. Contradicting US-based results, HML is not redundant in the five-factor model, UMD generates a reliable alpha in the Q-based regression, and the mispricing-purged SMB does not consistently dominate the other SMB factors. Because they cannot explain HML and UMD, the Q and Q5 models do not subsume the five- and six-factor models. Since none of the other models captures the ROE factor, the Q-factor model is never subsumed. The Q model spans the Q5 model because the expected growth factor rEG is not priced in African markets.
