Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My dissertation consists of three chapters which examine topics at the intersection of financial markets and macroeconomics. Two of the sections relate to the valuation of U.S. Treasury and corporate debt while the third understands the role of banking frictions on equity markets.More specifically, the first chapter asks the question, what is the role of monetary policy fluctuations for the macroeconomy and bond markets? To answer this question we design a novel asset-pricing framework which incorporates a time-varying Taylor rule for monetary policy, macroeconomic factors, and risk pricing restrictions from investor preferences. By estimating the model using U.S. term structure data, we find that monetary policy fluctuations significantly impact inflation uncertainty and bond risk exposures, but do not have a sizable effect on the first moments of macroeconomic variables. Monetary policy fluctuations contribute about 20% to the variation in bond risk premia. Models with frictions in financial contracts have been shown to create persistence effects in macroeconomic fluctuations. These persistent risks can then generate large risk premia in asset markets. Accordingly, in the second chapter, we test the ability that a particular friction, Costly State Verification (CSV), has to generate empirically plausible risk exposures in equity markets, when household investors have recursive preferences and shocks occur in the growth rate of productivity. After embedding these mechanisms into a macroeconomic model with financial intermediation, we find that the CSV friction is negligible in realistically augmenting the equity risk premium. While the friction slows the speed of capital investment, its contribution to asset markets is insignificant. The third chapter examines how firms manage debt maturity in the presence of investment opportunities. I document empirically that debt maturity tradeoffs play an important role in determining economic fluctuations and asset prices. I show at aggregate and firm levels that corporations lengthen their average maturity of debt when output and investment rates are larger. To explain these findings, I construct an economic model where firms simultaneously choose investment, short, and long-term debt. In equilibrium, long-term debt is more costly than short-term debt and is only used when investment opportunities present themselves in peaks of the business cycle.

Book excerpt: This dissertation studies how asset prices are related to various macroeconomic and financial factors. In the first chapter, I examine the influence of external financing costs on growth and asset prices. Using U.S. high-tech firm data and the aggregate financing cost measure of Eisfeldt and Muir (2016), I find that an increase in financing cost can have negative effects on R&D by reducing equity finance. This result suggests that financing cost can have substantial impacts on long-run productivity through the R&D channel. Motivated by this idea, I construct a general equilibrium model where financing costs affect innovation activities and future productivity. My model endogenously generates long-run risk and matches key features of macroeconomic and asset price data. The model produces a sizable equity premium, doing a good job of matching macro moments in the data. Furthermore, a large risk premium of R&D-intensive stocks is justified in the model as in the data. In addition, as a higher financing cost forecasts lower productivity growth in the model, this prediction is supported by empirical evidence. In the second chapter, I investigate whether heterogeneity between domestic and foreign households can help explain the cross-section of stock returns. For this analysis, I apply Yogo’s (2006) durable consumption model to a two-country setting using Korean stock market data. In Korea, U.S. investors have been a dominant foreign investor group, given that the total share of foreigners is considerably large. By incorporating the stochastic discount factor of the U.S. into the model, I find that it plays a significant role in pricing assets. In particular, our model is successful in accounting for the expected excess return of relatively high book-to-market equity groups, producing lower pricing errors than the Fama-French 3 factor model. In the third chapter, I study the effects of debt maturity choice on stock returns and financial structure. I construct a model where firms can issue both short-term and long-term bonds, subject to collateral constraints. I also assume that, when they run financial deficits, firms use equity finance paying issuance costs. The model performs well in matching empirical facts about stock returns and the financial structure of firms. In addition, the model provides an interesting implication that firms substitute between leverage and maturity. In the literature, theoretical explanations for the substitution relationship have been mainly based on conflicts between stakeholders. Without hinging on the contract-theoretic approach, my model replicates the theoretical prediction.

Book Synopsis Essays on Empirical Asset Pricing by : John Robert Vogel
Download or read book Essays on Empirical Asset Pricing written by John Robert Vogel and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation includes three essays of empirical asset pricing. In the first essay, The Value/Growth Anomaly and Hard to Value Firms, I show that combining quality signals (firm fundamentals) and hard to value measures increases the return spread between value and growth portfolios. A portfolio that is long high quality value firms that are hard to value and short low quality growth firms that are hard to value yields a 4-factor alpha of up to 1.41% per month. Second, ex-ante observed quality signals are better at predicting high performance and low performance growth stocks as compared to value stocks. This growth stock mispricing can be explained by extreme quality measures, and enhanced by focusing on hard to value growth firms. In the second essay, Using Maximum Drawdowns to Capture Tail Risk, I, along with my co-author Wesley R. Gray, propose the use of maximum drawdown, the maximum peak to trough loss across a time series of compounded returns, as a simple method to capture an element of risk unnoticed by linear factor models: tail risk. Unlike other tail-risk metrics, maximum drawdown is intuitive and easy-to-calculate. We look at maximum drawdowns to assess tail risks associated with market neutral strategies identified in the academic literature. Our evidence suggests that academic anomalies are not anomalous: all strategies endure large drawdowns at some point in the time series. Many of these losses would trigger margin calls and investor withdrawals, forcing an investor to liquidate. In the third essay, Analyzing Valuation Measures: A Performance Horse Race over the Past 40 Years, I, along with my co-author Wesley R. Gray, show that EBITDA/TEV has historically been the best performing valuation metric and outperforms many investor favorites such as price-to-earnings, free-cash-flow to total enterprise value, and book-to-market. We also explore the investment potential of long-term valuation ratios, which replaces one-year earnings with an average of long-term earnings. In contrast to prior empirical work, we find that long-term ratios add little investment value over standard one-year valuation metrics.

Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of three parts. The first documents that more innovative firms earn higher risk-adjusted equity returns and proposes a model to explain this. Chapter two answers the question of why firms would choose to issue callable bonds with options that are always "out of the money" by proposing a refinancing-risk explanation. Lastly, chapter three uses the firm-level evidence on investment cyclicality to help resolve the aggregate puzzle of whether R&D should be procyclical or countercylical.
