Price Dividend Ratio and Long-Run Stock Returns: a Score Driven State Space Model

Ivan Petrella, Davide Delle Monache and Fabrizio Venditti

No 14107, CEPR Discussion Papers from C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers

Abstract: In this paper we develop a general framework to analyze state space models with time-varying system matrices, where time variation is driven by the score of the conditional likelihood. We derive a new filter that allows for the simultaneous estimation of the state vector and of the time-varying matrices. We use this method to study the time-varying relationship between the price dividend ratio, expected stock returns and expected dividend growth in the US since 1880. We find a significant increase in the long-run equilibrium value of the price dividend ratio over time, associated with a fall in the long-run expected rate of return on stocks. The latter can be attributed mainly to a decrease in the natural rate of interest, as the long-run risk premium has only slightly fallen.
