This paper proposes a dynamic risk-based model that captures the high expected returns on value stocks relative to growth stocks, and the failure of the capital asset pricing model to explain these expected returns. To model the difference between value and growth stocks, we introduce a cross-section of long-lived firms distinguished by the timing of their cash flows. Firms with cash flows weig...

We consider a principal-agent model, in which the agent needs to borrow from the principal to finance a project. Our model is based on DeMarzo and Fishman (2003), except that the agent’s cash flows are given by a Brownian motion with drift in continuous time. The difficulty in writing an appropriate financial contract in this setting lies in the fact that the agent can hide cash flows and not p...

It is found that loss-making firms are more likely to reduce dividends compared to firms that remain profitable, although a loss is far from a guarantee that the dividend payment will be reduced. A lower propensity to reduce dividends is found in the UK relativ...

This paper proposes a dynamic risk-based model capable of jointly explaining the term structure of interest rates, returns on the aggregate market and the risk and return characteristics of value and growth stocks. Both the term structure of interest rates and returns on value and growth stocks convey information about how the representative investor values cash flows of different maturities. W...
