Abstract

We provide a simple but fairly general theoretical model that produces many of the implications regarding the value premium and stock volatility suggested in prior empirical literature and provides a number of new implications. Our equilibrium model naturally incorporates technological efficiency and innovations as a driver of many of the known effects. We also perform simple empirical tests of our model’s new implications.

Keywords: asset productivity, asset liquidity, value premium, growth stocks, firm volatility, noise, ICAPM, elasticity of expectations
