The equity term structure is downward sloping at long maturities. I show, through an ICAPM estimation, that the … tradeoff between market and reinvestment risk explains this pattern. Intuitively, while long-term dividend claims are highly … exposed to market risk, they are also good hedges for reinvestment risk because dividend prices rise as expected returns …

Many leading asset pricing models are specified so that the term structure of dividend volatility is either flat or … upward sloping. Related, these models predict that the term structures of expected returns and volatilities on dividend … suggests otherwise. This discrepancy can be reconciled if these models replace their proposed dividend dynamics with processes …

equilibrium model with rare disasters followed by recoveries helps reconcile theory with empirical observations. Indeed …-sloping term structures of dividend growth risk, equity return volatility, and equity risk premia. In addition, the term structure …

We present an arbitrage-free affine term structure model that jointly prices U.S. Treasury bonds, S&P 500 dividend … accurate decompositions of discount rates into risk free rates, inter est rate and dividend risk premiums. Our model is able to …

This study investigates the dynamic response of credit spread (CS) to S&P 500 dividend yield (DY) shock. Based on the … following shock to the S&P 500 dividend yield. The results also show that there is a significant causal linkage between CS and … DY. The variance decomposition results indicate that S&P 500 dividend yield forecasts about 2.72%, 5.00% and 7.12% of …

Using the model, we price dividend strips of the aggregate market index, as well as any other well … generated by the model match closely the equity yields from the traded dividend forwards reported in the literature.

the basic CAPM formulations. The empirical results indicates that while stock returns do not predict future consumption … decisions well, both Treasury Bill rates and dividend yield performed well in predicting consumption behaviour. For the … entire market. Betas for Treasury bill rates and dividend yields however suggest that the assets form strong basis for both …

I study a novel data set of short-term dividend futures contracts for individual stocks. I combine this data with … dividend forecasts from equity research analysts to construct a model-free measure of short-term equity risk premia. I provide … the first description of the cross-section of risk premia on short-maturity dividend claims. My data on risk premia for …
