Cash flow and discount rate risk in up and down markets : what is actually priced?
Botshekan, Mahmoud; Kräussl, Roman; Lucas, André - 2010
We test whether asymmetric preferences for losses versus gains as in Ang, Chen, and Xing (2006) also affect the pricing of cash flow versus discount rate news as in Campbell and Vuolteenaho (2004). We construct a new four-fold beta decomposition, distinguishing cash flow and discount rate betas...

Measurement error in education and growth regressions
Portela, Miguel; Alessie, Rob; Teulings, Coen N. - 2005
The perpetual inventory method used for the construction of education data per country leads to systematic measurement … error. This paper analyses the effect of this measurement error on GDP regressions. There is a systematic difference in the … the measurement error. The standard attenuation bias suggests that using these corrected data would lead to a higher …
