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...

This paper examines the implications of payout horizon for the prices of aggregate cashflows. The interaction of two long-run forces — a long-run risk in consumption and aggregate dividends, and a cointegration relationship between consumption and aggregate dividends — leads to non-monotonic relationships between a payout’s horizon and its cash flow risks, discount rate risks, and risk premia. ...

Adopting a probabilistic approach we determine the optimal dividend payout policy of firm whose surplus process follows controlled arithmetic Brownian motion and cash-flows are discounted at stochastic dynamic rate. Dividends can be paid to shareholders unrestricted rates so that problem is cast as one singular control. The interest rate modeled by Cox–Ingersoll–Ross (CIR) firm's objective maxi...

We study the optimal behaviour of a firm whose cash holdings are determined by a diffusion process and which is faced with the threat of liquidation if internal cash balances fall below some threshold. There is a conflict between the desire to pay out cash as dividends to satisfy relatively impatient shareholders and the need to retain cash as a barrier against possible liquidation (and consequ...

Are share markets too volatile? While it is difficult to ignore share market volatility it is important to determine whether volatility is excessive. This paper replicates the Shiller (1981) test as well as applying standard time series analysis to annual Australian stock market data for the period 1883 to 1999. While Shiller’s test suggests the possibility of excess volatility, time series ana...

ABSTRACT In contrast to the disappearing dividends view prevalent in literature, we document extensive dividend payments by firms and significant variability within across 16 countries during 2000–2013. We predict that within-firm increases investor demand for forward-looking information, analysts respond producing informative forecasts. find analyst forecasts are available most dividend-paying...

This paper examines how control and ownership structure affect share repurchases in an emerging market where controlling families derive large private benefits. Whereas firms with concentrated ownership often pay cash dividends, firms with weak control rights often repurchase shares. The magnitude of repurchase increases with weak control rights, but decreases with strong foreign ownership. The...
