Abstract: | The cross-sectional variance of firms' book-to-market ratios are decomposed by using both a long U.S. panel and a shorter international panel. Transitory cross-sectional variationin expected 15-year stock returns causes only a relatively small fraction (20% to 25%) of the total variance, which is contradictory to typical aggregate time-series results. Expected 15-year profitability and persistence of valuation levels explain the remaining dispersion. |
