The Wage Premium: A Puzzle
In this paper, I present evidence that the premium for a college education is essentially uncorrelated with the business cycle and that the average hours worked by college graduates are less volatile than those worked by nongraduates. Business cycle theory is then shown to be inconsistent with these observations when endogenous utilization and skill acquisition are incorporated. Abstracting fro...
متن کاملThe Equity Premium a Puzzle*
Restrictions that a class of general equilibrium models place upon the average returns of equity and Treasury bills are found to be strongly violated by the U.S. data in the 1889-1978 period. This result is robust to model specification and measurement problems. We conclude that, most likely, an equilibrium model which is not an Arrow-Debreu economy will be the one that Simultaneously rationali...
متن کاملDiscounting The Equity Premium Puzzle
Recent tests of stochastic dominance of several orders proposed by Linton, Maasoumi and Whang (2003) are applied to reexamine the equity premium puzzle. An advantage of this nonparametric framework is that it provides a means to assess whether the existence of a premium is due to particular cardinal choices of either the utility function or the underlying returns distribution, or both. The appr...
متن کاملIs the Value Premium a Puzzle?
This paper provides an economic explanation of the value premium, differences in price/dividend ratios of value and growth assets and variance-covariance structure of their realized returns within the long-run risks model of Bansal and Yaron (2004). Consistent with time-series properties of observed cash-flow data, value firms exhibit higher exposure to low-frequency fluctuations in aggregate c...
متن کاملThe Equity Premium Puzzle and the Risk-free Rate Puzzle
This paper studies the implications for general equilibnum asset pricing of a class of Kreps-Porteus nonexpected utility preferences characterized by a constant intertemporal elasticity of substitution and a constant, but unrelated, coefficient of relative risk aversion. It is shown that relaxing the parametric restriction on tastes imposed by the time-additive expected utility specification do...
