Please describe a statistical analysis procedure to test whether the factor Pi, t is statistically significant in influencing the monthly asset returns at time t across ALL stocks. Describe a sorting procedure (as discussed in the lecture) to test whether a profitable portfolio strategy (equal-weight in each stock of the portfolio) can be formed based on the factor Pi, t with monthly re-balancing of the portfolio.
