| Abstract: | This paper extends previous research by reexamining the difference in cross-sectional variability of Japanese and U.S. price-to-earnings (PE) rations. A simple model is developed to decompose the variance of the PE ratio into three components: the variance of the price-to-book (PB) ration, the variance of the book-to-earnings (BE) ration and the covariance of the PB and BE ratios. The authors analyse the behavior of the cross-sectional variability of the PE ration and its components and compare the behavior of these ratios. |
