Using the constant growth dividend discount model (DDM), it can be shown that the critical factor which determines whether common stocks will be able to be an inflation hedge is the growth rate o f dividends.

Based on the NECP/NCAR reanalysis dataset, associations between number of cold days (NCD) over East Asia (100–150° E, 25–55° N) and Arctic Oscillation (AO)/Arctic warming during 1956–2015 are explored. The results show NCD was closely associated with AO 1956–1990 1991–2015. It reveals showed a downward trend significantly negative correlation in previous stage, while it presented an upward nota...
