A look at the actual cost of capital of US firms
Moore, David J. - In: Cogent Economics & Finance 4 (2016) 1, pp. 1-15
The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) receives both criticism and widespread adoption by practitioners and academics … to address CAPM criticisms and provide new perspective on WACC estimates. The firm-based measure focuses on firm …-based WACC measures, along with the traditional CAPM-based WACC measure, to a broad sector-based cross section from 1972 to 2015 …

Financial frictions and the reaction of stock prices to monetary policy shocks
Ozdagli, Ali - 2014
This paper reveals and tests a new theoretical implication of the credit channel of monetary policy: as financial frictions (monitoring or auditing costs) increase, the reaction of stock prices to monetary policy shocks decreases. Correspondingly, towards the end of the Enron accounting scandal,...

Stock market volatility and learning
Adam, Klaus; Marcet, Albert; Nicolini, Juan Pablo - 2008
Introducing bounded rationality into a standard consumption based asset pricing model with a representative agent and time separable preferences strongly improves empirical performance. Learning causes momentum and mean reversion of returns and thereby excess volatility, persistence of...

The term structure of equity premia in an affine arbitrage-free model of bond and stock market dynamics
Lemke, Wolfgang; Werner, Thomas - 2009
We estimate time-varying expected excess returns on the US stock market from 1983 to 2008 using a model that jointly captures the arbitrage-free dynamics of stock returns and nominal bond yields. The model nests the class of affine term structure (of interest rates) models. Stock returns and...

Learning from experience in the stock market
Nakov, Anton; Nuño, Galo - 2011
We study the dynamics of a Lucas-tree model with finitely lived agents who "learn from experience." Individuals update expectations by Bayesian learning based on observations from their own lifetimes. In this model, the stock price exhibits stochastic boom-and-bust fluctuations around the...

Asset-pricing models and economic risk premia: A decomposition
Balduzzi, Pierluigi; Robotti, Cesare; Balduzzi, Pierluigi; … - 2005
The risk premia assigned to economic (nontraded) risk factors can be decomposed into three parts: (i) the risk premia on maximum-correlation portfolios mimicking the factors; (ii) (minus) the covariance between the nontraded components of the candidate pricing kernel of a given model and the...

Default Risk and Equity Returns: A Comparison of the Bank-Based German and the U.S. Financial System
Breig, Christoph; Elsas, Ralf - 2009
In this paper, we address the question whether the impact of default risk on equity returns depends on the financial system firms operate in. Using an implementation of Merton's option-pricing model for the value of equity to estimate firms' default risk, we construct a factor that measures the...

One-factor-Garch models for German stocks: Estimation and forecasting
Kaiser, Thomas - 1996
This paper presents theoretical models and their empirical results for the return and variance dynamics of German stocks. A factor structure is used in order to allow for a parsimonious modeling of the first two moments of returns. Dynamic factor models with GARCH dynamics (GARCH(1,1)-M,...

Long-run and cyclical dynamics in the US stock market
Caporale, Guglielmo Maria; Gil-Alana, Luis A. - 2004
This paper examines the long-run dynamics and the cyclical structure of the US stock market using fractional integration techniques, specifically a version of the tests of Robinson (1994a) which allows for unit (or fractional) roots both at the zero (long-run) and at the cyclical frequencies. We...
