Abstract
This paper exploits a well-known valuation framework to assess how a firm's discount factor relates to basic accounting ratios. Specifically, a parametric version of the Residual Income Valuation (RIV) model provides the framework. It is shown that the discount-factor relates positively to the forward earnings-to-price ratio and negatively to the book-to-price ratio. The result bears on the empirical research suggesting that the book-to-market ratio should be viewed as a risk-factor.
