Distribution Risk and Equity Returns∗
In this paper we entertain the hypothesis that observed variations in income shares are the result of changes in the balance of power between workers and capital owners in labor relations. We show that this view implies that income share variations represent a risk factor of first-order importance for the owners of capital and, consequently, are a crucial determinant of the return to equity. Wh...
متن کاملDefault Risk, Shareholder Advantage, and Stock Returns∗
In this paper, we study the relationship between default probability and stock returns. Using the market-based measure of Expected Default Frequency (EDF) constructed by Moody’s KMV, we first demonstrate that higher default probabilities are not necessarily associated with higher expected stock returns, a finding that complements the existing empirical evidence. We then show that the puzzling...
متن کاملDefault Risk, Asset Pricing and Equity Premium∗
The evaluation and control of an agent‘s debt has become a major issue in economics. In this paper we focus on firms and study credit risk, debt control and asset valuation of firms. We demonstrate that firm specific credit constraints and endogenous risk premia, based on collateralized borrowing, affect the asset value of the firm and, in turn, the collateral value of the firm. In order to exp...
متن کاملSources of risk and expected returns in global equity markets
This paper empirically examines multifactor asset pricing models for the returns and expected returns on eighteen national equity markets. The factors are chosen to measure global economic risks. Although previous studies do not reject the unconditional mean variance efficiency of a world market portfolio, our evidence indicates that the tests are low in power, and the world market betas do not...
متن کاملThe Risk and Predictability of International Equity Returns
We investigate predictability in national equity market returns, and its relation to global economic risks. We show how to consistently estimate the fraction of the predictable variation that is captured by an assetpricing modelfor the expected returns. We use a model in which conditional betas of the national equity markets depend on local information variables, while global risk premia depend...
