We argue that the cointegrating relation between dividends and consumption, a measure of long run consumption risks, is a key determinant of risk premia at all investment horizons. As the investment horizon increases, transitory risks disappear, and the asset's beta is dominated by long run...

Standard applications of the consumption-based asset pricing model make the assumption that goods and services within the nondurable consumption bundle are substitutes. We estimate substitution elasticities between different consumption bundles and show that households cannot substitute energy...

Firm-level risk exposures and costs of equity are notoriously difficult to estimate. Using a novel approach mapping consumption risk exposures to firm characteristics, we combine the traditional portfolio-level approach to testing asset pricing models with firm-level information to measure...

We propose a novel approach to measuring firm-level risk exposures and costs of equity. Using a simple consumption-based asset pricing model that explains nearly two-thirds of the variation in average returns across 55 portfolios, we map the relation between exposures to consumption risk and...
