چکیده

Based on the fundamental equations of equity valuation, we derive here the relationship between the equity risk premium, duration and dividend yield. Aside from providing a logical foundation for the difference between the ex-ante and ex-post measures of the risk premium, the work leads to other outcomes, namely, but not specifically, (1) that the current, effective dividend policy is a signalling process, conveying information on expected profits, (2) an alternative valuation relation, stemming from the above-mentioned dividend policy, (3) another proof to the notion that the forward-looking equity risk premium is the expected dividend yield and, finally, (4) a straightforward, analytical explanation for the dividend puzzle, as well as for the observed decline in both, the dividend yield and the forward-looking equity risk premium.

Extending this special-case scenario to one that involves time-wise var...

Existing empirical research investigating the size of the equity premium has largely consisted of a series of innovations around a common theme: producing a better estimate of the equity premium by using better data or a better estimation technique.
