Market Participation and Dividend Clienteles
Models of dividend preferences (clienteles) can lead to biased results if they ignore the connection between market participation and asset allocation decisions. Using data from the Consumer Expenditure Survey (CEX), I jointly model and estimate these investment decisions with a two-step procedure due to Heckman (1977). The estimated coefficients support the idea that market frictions and behav...
متن کاملPredicting the Equity Premium with Dividend Ratios
Our paper suggests a simple, recursive residuals (out-of-sample) graphical approach to evaluating the predictive power of popular equity premium and stock market timeseries forecasting regressions.

متن کاملThe Predictive Power of the Dividend Risk Premium
We show that the dividend growth rate implied by the futures market is informative about (i) the expected dividend growth rate and (ii) the expected dividend risk premium. We model the dividend risk premium and explore its implications for the predictability of dividend growth and aggregate stock returns. We show that accounting for the dividend risk premium strengthens the predictability of di...

The rules and regulations overseeing apprenticeships n...

A little studied question is how dividend smoothing, as a choice of corporate policy, affects predictability. We show that even if dividends are supposed to be predictable without smoothing, dividend smoothing can bury this predictability. Because aggregate d...
