3 The Dynamic Dividend Growth Model De ne the one-period holding return in the stock market as follows: H s t+1 = P t+1 + D t+1 P t 1 dividing both sides by 1 + Ht+1 s and multiplying both sides by P t D t we have: P t 1 = D t+1 D t 1 + Ht+1 s 1 + P t+1 D t D t+1 taking logs and with lowercase letters denoting logs of uppercase letters we have: p t d t = rt+1 s + d t+1 + ln 1 + e p t+1 d t+1 Taking a rst order Taylor expansion of the log term around the mean price-dividend p d we have: ln 1 + e p t+1 d t+1 = ln 1 + e p d + e p d 1 + e p d p t+1 d t+1 p d Favero, Xiamen University () Demographics & Stock Market July / 37

5 The solution Solving the dynamic dividend growth (DDG) forward pd t pd = E t m ρ j 1 m ( d t+j ) E t ρ j 1 rt+j s + ρ m i E t hpd t+m+1 pd The dynamic dividend growth is based on the assumption of stationarity of the (log) dividend-price ratio. Consistently with such an assumption, under the maintained hypothesis that stock market returns, and dividend-growth are covariance-stationary, Eq. (??) says that the log of the price-dividend ratio is stationary (the log of price and the log of dividend are cointegrated with a (-1,1) cointegrating vector), and that deviations of (log) prices from the common trend in (log) dividends summarize expectations of either stock market returns, or dividend growth or some combination of the two. Favero, Xiamen University () Demographics & Stock Market July / 37
6 The Properties of the DDG model The model implies the possibility that long-run returns are predictable. So forecasting models for the stock market return should perform better the longer the forecasting horizon. The forecasting performance for stock market returns depends crucially on the forecasting performance for dividend growth. Note that in the case in which the dividend yield predicts expected dividend growth perfectly the proposition that returns are not predictable holds in the data. However, the empirical evidence available tells us that the dividend yield does not predict dividend growth (Cochrane 2006). Favero, Xiamen University () Demographics & Stock Market July / 37
7 The Properties of the DDG model If other variables than the dividend yield are predictors of dividend growth, then the combination of these variables with the dividend yield delivers the best predicting model for the stock market (Lettau and Ludvigson 2005). In ation illusion and the stock market (Cohn and Modigliani 1979, Campbell and Vuoltenahoo 2004) The validity of the linearization on which the model is based requires that the dividend yield uctuates around a constant mean (around which the model is e ectively linearized) (Lettau and Van Nieuwemburgh(2008), Boudouk et al.(2007)). Favero, Xiamen University () Demographics & Stock Market July / 37
8 The Empirical Investigation of the dynamic dividend growth model (i) (p d) t is a very persistent time-series and forecasts stock market returns and excess returns over horizons of many years (Fama and French (1988), Campbell and Shiller (1988), Cochrane (2001, Ch. 20), and Cochrane(2007)). (ii) (p d) t does not have important long-horizon forecasting power for future discounted dividend-growth (Campbell (1991), Campbell, Lo and McKinlay(1997) and Cochrane(2001)). (iii) the very high persistence of (p d) t has led some researchers to question the evidence of its forecasting power for returns, especially at short-horizon. Careful statistical analysis that takes full account of the persistence in (p d) t provides little evidence in favour of predictability ( Nelson and Kim, 1993; Stambaugh, 1999; Ang and Bekaert, 2007; Valkanov, 2003; Goyal and Welch, 2003 and Goyal and Welch 2008). Structural breaks hava also been found (Neely and Weller(2000) and Paye and Timmermann(2006), Rapach and Wohar(2006)). Favero, Xiamen University () Demographics & Stock Market July / 37
9 The Empirical Investigation of the Dynamic dividend growth model (iv) More recently, Lettau and Ludvigson (2001, 2005) have found that dividend growth and stock returns are predictable by long-run equilibrium relationships derived from a linearized version of the consumer s intertemporal budget constraint. cay and cdy are much less persistent time-series than (p d) t, they are predictors of dividend-growth and, when included in a predictive regression relating stock market returns to (p d) t, they swamp the signi cance of this variable. Favero, Xiamen University () Demographics & Stock Market July / 37
10 Interpreting the Evidence (Lettau&Van Nieuwerburgh, 2008, LVN henceforth). LVN use a century of US data to show evidence on the breaks in the constant mean (p d). As a matter of fact, the evidence from univariate test for non-stationarity and bivariate cointegration tests does not lead to the rejection of the null of the presence of a unit-root in (p d) t LVN identify two breaks in 1954 and 1991 via purely statistical methods. The nature of such breaks is not investigated. Favero, Xiamen University () Demographics & Stock Market July / 37

12 Demographics in the DDG The GMQ model relates the slowly evolving mean in the log price-dividend is related to demographic trends. We take the GMQ model to the data via the conjecture that uctuations in MY could capture a slowly evolving mean in (p d) t within the dynamic dividend growth model.

14 Solving the model forward We assume that the relevant linearization value for computing returns from time t to time t + m is the conditional expectation of the dividend-yield for time t + m, given the information available at time t.

23 MY, CAY and CDY Evaluating the e ect of the inclusion of cay and cdy in the long-run forecasting regressions that also include MY t is a parsimonious way of evaluating the model with MY t against all nancial ratios traditionally adopted to predict returns. cay and cdy dominate all the traditionally adopted nancial ratios it would allow further investigation on the presence of a common component in dividend and stock market returns suggested by LL(2005) but not consistent with our ndings in Table 1.3, that witness the signi cance of MY for predicting long-run returns and long-run returns adjusted for dividend growth. it could shed further light on the relative importance of cay and cdy and MY t for predicting returns and dividend growth in the dynamic dividend growth model.

31 Conclusions The slowly evolving trend in the mean dividend/price is determined by a demographic variable, MY, the ratio of middle-age to young population. We have shown that MY captures well a slowly evolving component in the mean dividend/price ratio and it is strongly signi cant in long-horizon regressions for real stock market returns. The empirical results we have reported should be of special relevance to the strategic asset allocation literature, in which the log dividend-price ratio is often used in VAR models as a stationary variable capturing time-variation in the investment opportunity set, and as an input into the optimal asset allocation decision of a long-horizon investor. Allowing for the presence of MY in the VAR models used to estimate the time pro le of returns and their volatility might cast new light on the hot debate on the safety of stock market investment for the long-run (see Campbell and Viceira (2002), Pastor and Stambaugh(2009)). Favero, Xiamen University () Demographics & Stock Market July / 37
32 The TS of Stock Market Risk The fact that a slow moving variables determined by demographics has very little impact on predictability of stock market returns at high frequency but a sizeable and strongly signi cant impact at low frequency has some obvious consequences on the slope of stock market risk, de ned as the conditional variance and covariance per period of asset returns. When demographic trends are used to model the slow moving uctuations in the dividend-price ratio a natural decomposition of this variable into an high volatility "noise" component, re ecting high-frequency stock market uctuations, and a low-volatility "information" component re ecting the slowly evolving long-run trend. The dominance of the "noise" component at high frequency and of the information component at low frequency should lead naturally to a positive relation between predictability of returns and forecasting horizon and to a negatively sloped term structure of risk. The VAR based approach to the TS of stock market risk underestimates this slope Favero, Xiamen University () Demographics & Stock Market July / 37

34 The VAR approach This implies that in our simple bivariate example the term structure of stock market risk takes the form where σ 2 r (k) = σ ϕ 1,2 σ 1,2 ψ 1 (k) + ϕ 2 1,2 σ2 2,2ψ 2 (k) ψ 1 (k) = 1 k ψ 2 (k) = 1 k k 2 l l=0 i=0 k 2 l=0 ψ 1 (1) = ψ 2 (1) = 0 ϕ i 2,2 k > 1 2 l ϕ2,2! i k > 1 i=0 Favero, Xiamen University () Demographics & Stock Market July / 37
35 The TS of Risk by direct regression We measure the term structure of stock market risk by estimating the following structural system of eleven equations: m 1 p m rt+j s = δ 0,m + p 1 (1 m m = 1,..., 10 ϕ m 22 ) dp t ϕ 23 pm! m ϕ j 1 22 MY t+m+1 j + dp t+1 = ϕ 20 + ϕ 22 dp t + ϕ 23 MY t+1 + ε 2,t+1 An unrestricted version is also estimated to perform a test of the validity of the relevant restrictions:! m 1 p m rt+j s = δ 0,m + δ 1m p dp t + δ m 2m p m m ϕ j 1 22 MY t+m+1 j + u t+m dp t+1 = ϕ 20 + ϕ 22 dp t + ϕ 23 MY t+1 + ε 2,t+1 Favero, Xiamen University () Demographics & Stock Market July / 37
