1 Discount Rates John H. Cochrane University of Chicago Booth School of Business January 8, 2011

2 Discount rates 1. Facts: How risk discount rates vary over time and across assets. 2. Theory: Why discount rates vary. I 3. Applications I Macro, Behavioral, Segmented/institutional, Liquidity Portfolio theory, Active/passive management, Accounting, Corporate Finance 4. Apology see long paper for citation, documentation

3 Forecasting with DP Horizon k b t(b) R 2 σ [E t (R e σ[e )] t (R e )] E (R e ) 1 year 3.8 (2.6) years 20.6 (3.4) Rt!t+k e = a + b D t P t + ε t+k ; σ [E t (R e )] σ ˆb D t P t 4 x D/P and Annualized Following 7 Year Return 25 4 x DP Return

4 Long-Horizon Regression Coe cients and Price Volatility I Identity: (dp t log(d t /P t ); ρ = 0.96) dp t k ρ j 1 r t+j k ρ j j=1 j=1 I Long-run regressions, and coe cient identity 1 d t+j + ρ k dp t+k k ρ j j=1 1 r t+j = a + b r (k) dp t + ε r t+k, etc. ) 1 b (k) r b (k) d + b(k) dp. b (k) r b (k) d b (k) dp Direct regression, k = Implied by VAR, k = VAR, k = I Why do prices (p/d) move? 100% (135%!) discount rates, 0% (-35%!) dividend growth

5 A Pervasive Phenomenon, and cycles I A pervasive phenomenon: 1. Stocks. DP! Return, not dividend growth 2. Treasuries. Yield! Return, not rising rates 3. Bonds/CDS. Yield! Return, not default 4. Foreign Exchange. Interest spread! Return, not devaluation 5. Sovereign Debt, Foreign Assets.! Return, not repayment, exports 6. Houses. Price/Rent! Return, not rent growth. I Common element, business cycle association: low prices, high returns in recessions. High prices, low returns in booms I Bubble? "Prices too high" () Discount rate too low

6 log scale Houses Price and Rent x rent CSW price OFHEOprice 7.6 Price x Rent Date Houses: b t R 2 Stocks: b t R 2 r t (2.52) (2.61) 0.10 d t (2.22) (0.92) 0.02 dp t (16.2) (23.8) 0.91

7 A Pervasive Phenomenon, and cycles I A pervasive phenomenon: 1. Stocks. DP! Return, not dividend growth 2. Treasuries. Yield! Return, not rising rates 3. Bonds/CDS. Yield! Return, not default 4. Foreign Exchange. Interest spread! Return, not devaluation 5. Sovereign Debt, Foreign Assets.! Return, not repayment, exports 6. Houses. Price/Rent! Return, not rent growth. I Common element, business cycle association: low prices, high returns in recessions. High prices, low returns in booms I Bubble? "Prices too high" () Discount rate too low

8 Multivariate Challenges: More variables 1. Many forecasters. Multiple regression? Common forecasters across assets? r stock t+1 = a s + b s dp t + c s ys t + d 0 sz t + ε s t+1? r bond t+1 = a b + c b ys t + b b dp t + d 0 b z t + ε b t+1? 2. Are E t (r i t+1 ) = b i x t correlated across assets? Factor structure of time-varying expected returns? 3. Relate mean to covariance 4. Can t just run big regressions! E t r i t+1 = covt (r i t+1f 0 t+1)λ t 5. Back to prices (price/dividend) long-run forecasts?

9 Understanding prices. short and long-run forecasts E(r lr dp,cay) E(r lr dp) dp dp and cay dp only ac tual r t R t+1 = a + b dp t [+c cay t ] + ε t+1 ; j=1 ρ j 1 r t+j = a + b dp t [+c cay t ] + ε

10 The cross section 1. Chaos 2. CAPM E (R ei ) = β i E (R em ) 3. Chaos again E (R ei ) = α i + β i E (R em ) (value) 4. Fama and French E (R ei ) = β i E (R em ) + h i E (hml) + s i E (smb) 3. Chaos again E (R ei ) = α i + β i E (R em ) + h i E (hml) + s i E (smb) (Market, value, size), momentum, accruals, equity issues, beta-arbitrage, credit risk, bond & equity market timing, carry trade, put writing, liquidity provision,...

11 Average return Value e ect and factor 4. Fama and French E (R ei ) = β i E (R em ) + h i E (hml) + s i E (smb) Average returns and betas 0.8 E(r) 0.6 b x E(rmrf) 0.4 β x E(rmrf) 0.2 h x E(hml) Growth Value Fama - French 10 B/M sorted portfolios..

12 Value (size, and bond factors) 4. Fama and French E (R ei ) = β i E (R em ) + h i E (hml) + s i E (smb) a. Theories (m) only need to explain the factor E (R ei ) =... + h i E (hml) (Fama French) E (hml) = cov(hml, m) (Theory) b. Value stocks rise and fall together; mean,covariance. (APT). But theories must now explain covariance! c. Value betas explain other E (R e ) sorts, e.g. sales growth. 5. Chaos again..how to repeat FF? E (R ei ) = α i + β i E (R em ) + h i E (hml) + s i E (smb) (Market, value, size), momentum, accruals, equity issues, beta-arbitrage, credit risk, bond & equity market timing, carry trade, put writing, liquidity provision,...

13 The Multidimensional Challenge I (Market, value, size), momentum, accruals, equity issues, beta-arbitrage, credit risk, bond & equity market timing, carry trade, put writing, liquidity provision, Which of these are independently important for E (R e )? ( multiple regression ) 2. Does E (R e ) spread correspond to new factors? 3. Do we need all the new factors? Or again, fewer factors than E (R e ) characteristics? 4. Why do prices move? Long run. I How to approach such a highly multidimensional problem?

14 Asset Pricing on Characteristics/Uni cation 1. Portfolio sorts are really cross-sectional regressions E(R) Portfolio Mean Securities Portfolio Log(B/M) E (R ei ) = a + b log(b/m i ) + ε i ; i = 1, 2,...N

15 Asset Pricing on Characteristics/Uni cation 1. Portfolio sorts are really cross-sectional regressions E (R ei ) = a + b 0 C i + ε i ; i = 1, 2,...N 2. Time series and cross-section are really the same thing R ei t+1 = a + b 0 C it + ε i t+1 3. Result: Expected return is a function of characteristics E (R ei t+1jc it ) C it = [size, b/m, momentum, accruals, d/p, credit spread...] 4. Covariance with factors is also a function of characteristics cov t (Rt+1, ei f t+1 ) = g(c it ) E (R e jc ) = g(c ) λ?

16 Prices? 1. Why ER/β, not p, PV? 2. Long-run / price in the cross-section? 3. Prices/long run may simplify. 3.1 Campbell-Shiller: 3.2 One-period: ρ j 1 rt+j i = a + b 0 C it + ε i? j=1 ρ j 1 r t+j = ρ j 1 d t+j dp t j=1 j=1 Dt+1 R t+1 = D t+1 = P t r t+1 = d t+1 dp t D t Pt / D t
