This paper uses British data to examine the effects of dividend taxes on investors' relative valuation of dividends and … radical changes and several minor reforms in British dividend tax policy during the last twenty-five years. Studying the … data on a much broader sample, we find clear evidence that taxes change equilibrium relationships between dividend yields …

/U.K. (1629-1812), U.K. (1813-1870) and U.S. (1871-2015). We show that dividend yields are stationary and consistently forecast … business cycle, with expected returns increasing in recessions. We also find that, except for the period after 1945, dividend … yields predict dividend growth rates …

through principal component analysis of the covariance matrix of log price dividend ratios of twenty five equity portfolios … formed on Size and Book-to-Market. We identify two price-dividend ratio factor proxies for economy wide long run risk, one … returns alone. The price dividend ratio factors perform better than the stock index price dividend ratio and the corporate …

We recover prices of dividend strips on the aggregate stock market using data from derivatives markets. The price of a … k-year dividend strip is the present value of the dividend paid in k years. The value of the stock market is the sum of … all dividend strip prices across maturities. We study the properties of strips and find that expected returns, Sharpe …

This paper presents a bound on the variance of the price-dividend ratio and a decomposition of the variance of the … price-dividend ratio into components that reflect variation in expected future discount rates and variation in expected … future dividend growth. Unobserved discount rates needed to make the variance bound and variance decomposition hold are …
