Abstract
Basic volatility and predictability characteristics of the aggregate US stock market over the last century can be understood in terms of the dynamic properties of mean reverting equity discount rates. Additionally, high prices in good times and low prices in bad times can be understood in terms of the dynamics of both equity discount rates and return on capital, and the negative correlation between them.
Keywords: asset pricing, predictability of stock returns, volatility of stock returns, dividend growth predictability, discount rates
