In this note, we develop a stock valuation model with recursive preferences and long-run risks. The model is based on the Epstein and Zin (1989, 1991) and Weil (1989) recursive utility framework. Our main result indicates that the intrinsic value of a stock is negatively related to (i) the long-run covariance between dividends and aggregate consumption, and (ii) the long-run covariance between dividends and market returns. This theoretical finding suggests that the sensitivity of dividends to market returns and aggregate consumption affects the long-run risk of a firm and its equity value. |
