JEL caificaion: G12, C49 Key Word: Bea, Wavee 1. Inroducion The aemen of mare ri ha poed a grea chaenge o financia pundi and academic reearcher (ee, for inance, Granger, 2002 for an overview). Mare ri arie from he random unanicipaed change in he price of financia ae and meauring i i crucia for inveor. Ahough he meauremen of mare ri ha a ong radiion in finance, here i i no univeray agreed upon definiion of ri. The modern heory of porfoio anayi dae bac o he pioneering wor of Harry Marowiz in he The aring poin of porfoio heory re on he aumpion ha inveor chooe beween porfoio on he bai of heir expeced reurn on one hand, and he variance of heir reurn, on he oher. Laer on, he Capia Ae Pricing Mode (CAPM) emerged hrough he conribuion of Sharpe (1964) and Linner (1965a, 1965b). According o he CAPM, he reevan ri meaure in hoding a given ae i he yemaic ri, ince a oher ri can be diverified away hrough porfoio diverificaion. Severa udie raied he iue ha bea eimaion differ depending on he inerva ued in cacuaing reurn [Fama (1970), Pogue and Sonic (1974), Levhari and Levy(1977), Smih (1978), and Hawawini (1980)].

Bornon, Kim, and Lee (1999) ugge ha bea refec macroeconomic ri ha may have differen frequencie (high or ow) and hu he eniiviy of bea o differen ime inerva may refec he impac of hoe ri. In brief, empirica obervaion revea ha bea change, a invemen horizon are changed. Tradiiona mehodoogy of eimaing bea herefore wi be inappropriae aiicay, ince o of informaion wi be o abou he bea dynamic acro differen inerva. Baicay, a ecuriy mare coni of houand of rader and inveor wih differen ime horizon in heir mind regarding heir invemen deciion. Owing o he differen deciion-maing ime horizon among inveor, he rue dynamic of he reaionhip beween oc reurn and ri eimae are iey o vary depending on he ime horizon of he inveor. Therefore, heir percepion and meauremen of ri are no preumed o be he ame. Financia anay have ong recognized he need o incorporae differen ime cae in ine wih he inveor deciion maing in he financia mare. However, due o he ac of appropriae anayica oo o decompoe daa ino more han wo ime cae, he anayi wa rericed, uni receny, o wo ime cae i.e., hor-run and ong-run ony (In & Kim, 2006). A reaivey new approach nown a wavee anayi ha ae care of differen ime cae or horizon in deciion maing woud hopefuy addre ha gap. In hi paper, we herefore, re-examine ri meauremen hrough a nove approach, wavee anayi.

For each ampe company, daiy reurn erie (562 obervaion) have been coeced. In addiion daiy mare indice for imiar period of ime ao have been coeced.
