Essays on A Rational Expectations Model of Dividend Policy and Stock ReturnsNam, Changwoo 2011 August 1900 (has links)
We propose an asset pricing model in a production economy where cash flows are determined by firms' optimal dividend and investment decisions. Extensive and intensive decision margins in dividend payout are modeled with cash holding and investment adjustment costs. The model implies that delays in dividend distribution of young and growing firms play instrumental roles in explaining various asset pricing anomalies. Quantitative results show that model-implied dividend policies and investments are consistent with data, and the cross sections of stock returns are well explained by the interactions between productivity shocks and the lumpy dividend policies. Additionally, the model produces countercyclical variations in the market risk premium.
In addition, we empirically investigate the relevance of firm characteristics and aggregate productivity shocks in determining dividend payment propensity, thereby asset prices. It is found that excess returns for dividend payers over nonpayers are significantly linked to business cycles. Relative future returns are fairly predicted by the spread of lagged propensities to pay dividends. Furthermore, the empirical results document that each future return of payers and nonpayers increases in propensities to pay out cash to shareholders. These results are consistent to our rational expectations model of dividend policy, and contradictory to the catering theory of dividends.

How Does Investor Sentiment Have Impacts on Stock Returns and Volatility in the Growth Enterprise Market in China?Zheng, Jinshi 27 May 2020 (has links)
This dissertation mainly explores the effect of investor sentiment on stock returns and volatility on Growth Enterprise in China using monthly data from Shenzhen Stock Exchange of China from June 2010 to November 2019. Using five explicit and market-related implicit indicators an investor sentiment has been measured and constructed with the help of principal component analysis. The analysis has been done by employing a vector autoregression(VAR) model and impulse response functions (IRFs) generated from a VAR model to examine the relationship between the unanticipated changes in investor sentiment and stock returns and volatility. We also establish EGARCH model to test the validity of previous results and if the asymmetric impact of positive and negative news on market returns volatility. The results show a significant impact of investor sentiment on stock return and volatility. We also document that there is a positive leverage effect between investor sentiment and the volatility of returns. The findings of this paper can help both individual and institutional investors have a better understanding of GEM market and improve their investment returns by incorporating investor sentiment into their asset forecasting model. This paper also provides policymakers guidance on reducing volatility on stock markets from the perspective of investor sentiment. Additionally, this paper has important contributions to behavioral finance and adds to the limited number of studies on investor sentiment and stock return in not only the Chinese market but emerging markets.

Two Essays on Asset PricingZhao, Xiaofei 14 January 2014 (has links)
This dissertation contains two essays that study the implications of information arrival on asset prices. In the first essay, I study an important aspect of the firm-level information structure - the quantity of information - and its effect on the cross-section of stock returns. The main contribution of this essay is to propose a new proxy for information intensity (monthly information quantity) and establish a link between information intensity and stock returns. I find that higher information intensity reduces expected uncertainty and leads to a lower expected return, after controlling for a variety of traditional risk factors and asset pricing anomalies. An information-intensity-based long-short portfolio generates an abnormal return of 4.44% per year. My findings suggest that, as a key component of information structure, information quantity is of first order importance in determining stock returns, and more generally, that investor learning plays an important role in financial markets with incomplete information.
The second essay, based on a joint work with John Maheu and Tom McCurdy, studies the asset-pricing implication of market-level information arrival, which can lead to large movements (jumps) in the market index. Deviating from the literature that studies the impact of jumps through option pricing and motivated by a nonlinear pricing kernel associated with general preferences, we focus on the pricing impact of jumps through the pricing of higher-order moments. We find that three components of a modeling device, including: a 2-component GARCH model for diffusive volatility, an autoregressive model for jump intensity, and a higher order moment specification of the equity premium, are particularly important for asset pricing with jumps. This modeling device enables us to be the first to uncover significant pricing of both diffusive risk and jump risk, using only a time series of equity return data. We find that the risk premium due to jumps is a significant part of the overall equity premium. Our results also suggest the existence of a significant skewness premium and offer a potential resolution to sometimes conflicting results on the intertemporal risk-return relationship. Furthermore, taking jumps into account improves the out-of-sample performance of a portfolio allocation application.

Essays on conditional volatility in asset returnsWatt, Wing Hong January 1994 (has links)
This dissertation consists of four papers that examine various aspects of the temporal patterns in the volatility of asset returns. The first paper compares the predictive performance of various parametric ARCH models. We find that ARCH models are generally good descriptions of the timevarying volatility of UK stock returns. There appears to be asymmetry in the conditional volatility, although no single model outperforms the rest in all instances. In the second paper, we uncover evidence of asymmetric predictability in the conditional variance of firms of different size. Large firms shocks affect the future volatility of small firms, but not vice versa. We also find that trading period shocks have a significant impact on future volatility, but not nontrading period shocks. In the third paper, we document a contemporaneous volatility-volume relationship. We find that volatility is related to change in trading volume, and we propose a conditional volatility model that incorporate this contemporaneous volatility-volume relationship. In the final paper, we examine the various method of adjusting for nontrading effects in ARCH models, and we propose a new diagnostic test to detect the validity of such adjustments. We also uncover evidence that conditional volatility increases prior to market closure, but declines after market opening.

The Impact of Macroeconomic Changes on Restaurant Segment Stock ReturnsGerstenberger, Jack 01 January 2017 (has links)
This paper estimates how changes in macroeconomic variables impact the monthly stock returns of the full service, quick service, and fast casual restaurant segments. Market-capitalization-weighted stock indices are created to measure these effects. I also analyze how these changes influence each segment’s share of total valuation in the industry. These are changes in total segment market capitalization relative to changes in total industry market capitalization. My results suggest that the full service segment index is impacted by macroeconomic changes to the greatest extent of the three segments. The quick service segment index is the least affected. Changes in inflation, food commodity prices, consumer sentiment, and the federal funds rate have impacts on stock returns across all three segments.
