Abstract: The excess volatility approach to testing the rational expectations-efficient markets hypothesis has focused on the time series properties of an aggregate stock market index. In this paper, the authors examine another dimension of volatility and study cross-section data on the stock market valuation of individual firms. They compare cross-section data on the actual stock market value of firms with the cross-section data on the present discounted value of total realized future dividend payments.
