Nominal Rigidities and the Term Structures of Equity and Bond Returns

Abstract

A downward-sloping term structure of equity and upward-sloping term structures of interest rates arise endogenously in a general-equilibrium model with nominal rigidities and nonlinear habits in consumption. Countercyclical marginal costs exacerbate the procyclicality of dividends after a technology shock, and hence their riskiness, and generate countercyclical inflation. Marginal costs gradually fall after a negative technology shock as the price level increases sluggishly, so the payoffs of short-duration dividend claims (bonds) are more (less) procyclical than the payoffs of long-duration claims (bonds). The simultaneous presence of market and home consumption habits allows for uniting nonlinear habits and a production economy without compromising the ability of the model to fit macroeconomic variables.

Our model links macroeconomic fluctuations with asset pricing facts in full general equilibrium and offersajointexplanationofthedocumentedtermstructureproperties. Inparticularourmodelis able to capture simultaneously the negative slope of the average term structure of dividend strip returns and volatilities as well as upward-sloping average term structures of interest rates and a positiveinflationriskpremiumatallhorizons(LettauandWachter,2011;Binsbergen,Brandtand Koijen, 2012a; Binsbergen, Hueskes, Koijen and Vrugt, 2013; Lopez, 2013). Figure 1 plots our model-impliedtermstructuresofreturnsandvolatilities. Weunite atextbook New Keynesian modeleconomy (Gal´ı,2008) andCampbell andCochrane (1999) habits in consumption. Nominal rigidities induce a time-varying labor share of output, driven by countercyclical marginal costs. The countercyclical labor share implies a procyclical dividend share as well as countercyclical inflation. It follows that dividend claims and nominal bondspayoffbadlyinatechnologicalrecessionandarethereforeriskyinvestments. Sincemarginal costsarestationary,thepayoffsoflong-durationdividends(bonds)areless(more)procyclical;the dividendshareandthepricelevelincreaseasmoreandmorefirmsareabletoadjusttheirpricesto regaintheirmarkups.2 2Arecentandrapidlygrowingliteratureisfocusingontheassetpricingimplicationsofnominalrigidities(e.g., Rudebusch and Swanson, 2008, 2012; Bekaert, Cho and Moreno, 2010; Palomino, 2012; Li and Palomino, 2014; Andreasen,2013;Campbell,PfluegerandViceira,2013;Kung,2015;GorodnichenkoandWeber,2013;Weber,2014). 2

Reconcilinghabitformationwithbusinesscyclefacts Weavoidthewell-knowndifficultiesinreconcilingbusinesscyclefactswithhabitformation models in production economies (e.g., Jermann, 1998; Lettau and Uhlig, 2000; Uhlig, 2007; Rudebusch and Swanson, 2008, 2012; Swanson, 2012) by introducing nonlinear habits in two consumptiongoods,onepurchasedinthemarketandoneproducedathome.3 Inaproductioneconomyhabitsaffectequilibriumquantitiesbytheireffectontheintertemporal rate of substitution, which drives consumption-saving and investment decisions, and by their effect ontheintratemporal rateofsubstitution, whichcontrolsthelinkbetween consumptionandlabor supply. The consequence is that equilibrium quantities (consumption, output, labor, investment and the capital stock) depend on the additional state variables that drive habit dynamics and countercyclical risk premia. The time-variation in the new state variables has quantity implications that are associated either with counterfactually large business cycle fluctuations in some real variables(suchaslabor,thecapitalstock,therealwagerate,ortherealrisk-freerate),orwithsmall riskpremiaashouseholdsabsorbaggregateshocksbyvaryinglabororinvestment. CampbellandCochrane(1999)engineeredaconsumptionhabitsensitivityfunctionthatcontrols theintertemporalconsumption-savingdecisionsandinduceslarge,volatile,andtime-varyingrisk premia with a low and stable risk-free rate. In the same spirit, we also engineer restrictions on the home-consumption habit sensitivity function to control the intratemporal effect of habits on consumption-labor decisions and thereby avoid risk-premia spillovers on macroeconomic quantities—andhencethequantitypuzzlesfirstdocumentedbyLettauandUhlig(2000). Finally, theeffectofhabitsontheconsumption-investmenttradeoffiscontrolledbythecurvatureofcapital adjustmentcosts,whichdeterminesthedependenceofinvestmentonQ;inthelimitwhencapital adjustmentisinfinitelycostlyhabitshavenoeffectoninvestment. Toprovideintuitionaboutthemodel’simplicationinassimpleasettingaspossible,wecalibrate the model to the polar case of an exact separation between risk premia and quantity dynamics that reconciles habit formation with business cycle facts, independently of the presence of other intratemporaldistortionssuchaswagerigiditiesorotherlabormarketfrictions(asconsideredfor example by Uhlig, 2007 and Rudebusch and Swanson, 2008).4 The result that such a polar case existsextendstothehabitformationsettingamacro-financeseparationresultanalogoustotheone thatTallarini(2000)describedinasettingwithEpstein-Zinpreferences(seealsoCochrane,2008). 3Wechoosetofocusonthehabitformationframeworkratherthanona‘long-runrisk’frameworkbuildingon Epstein-Zin-Weil preferences for two reasons.

Second,theCampbell-Cochranehabitspecificationnaturallygeneratestime-variationinrisk premiawithoutrelyingoncounterfactualheteroskedasticityinmacroeconomicfundamentals(Campbell,Pfluegerand Viceira,2013). 4Theextantliteratureoffersexamplesofhabitformationinsmall-scaleproductioneconomiesbuttheyfeature habitsthatareeitherlinear(e.g.,Jermann,1998;Boldrin,ChristianoandFisher,2001;DePaoli,ScottandWeeken, 2010;ChalleandGiannitsarou,2014)orthatdepartfromtheCampbell-Cochranespecificationinordertograntexact exponential-affine term structures (e.g., Gallmeyer, Hollifield and Zin, 2005; Bekaert, Engstrom and Xing, 2009; Bekaert,ChoandMoreno,2010;Palomino,2012;Dew-Becker,2013),sothefinancialspilloversontotheintratemporal orontheintertemporalratesofsubstitutionareleftunrestrained. 3

Termstructuresofequitystripsandbondreturns Production economies provide endogenous restrictions on cashflows based on economic theory, incontrastwithareduced-formapproachthatmaybedifficulttoreconcilewithstandardmacroeconomicmodels. Additionally,jointlymodelingmacroeconomicquantitiesandassetpriceswitha structuralapproachallowsforstudyingpolicyinterventions,structuralshiftsandpotentialfeedbacks betweentherealandthefinancialsidesoftheeconomy. Sincethemacro-financeseparationensures that discount rate variation does not compromise the ability of the model to fit macroeconomic variables,wecanfocusontheassetpricingimplicationsoftherestrictionsplacedoncashflowsby theDSGEmodel. Ourframeworkpreservesall themainachievementsof CampbellandCochrane(1999), including a solution to the average equity premium puzzle, the risk-free rate and the excess volatility puzzles,andthecountercyclicalityofstockmarketreturnsandvolatility. Additionally,ournonlinearhabit model is able to explain the entire observed maturity structure of equity and bond returns andvolatilities,disentanglingtheintertemporalrisk-returntradeoffsatdifferenthorizons.5 Thekey driversofourresultsarenominalrigiditiesandsomedegreeofmeanreversioninthegrowthrateof technology. Sticky prices endogenize the payoff of nominal bonds and rationalize dividends as a levered versionofconsumption. Thepayoffofshort-termequityispositivelycorrelatedwithconsumption news but is much more volatile, and hence more risky, as long as positive short-run shocks to technologygrowthassociatewithnegativelong-runshockstotechnologygrowth. Infact,short-run shocksincreaseconsumptionanddividendsalikebutnegativelong-runshockspushdemandbelow potential,whichlowersconsumptionwhilecreatingdownwardpressureoninflationandrealwages thatraisescorporateprofits. Mean reversion in technology reduces the riskiness of dividend claims with longer duration, asapositiveexposuretolong-runtechnologygrowthriskprovidesconsumptioninsurance. Thus, themodelisabletogenerateaninitiallynegativeslopeinthetermstructureofmarketequityfora sufficiently large degree of price stickiness, capturing the evidence by Binsbergen et al. (2012a).

1. IncorporatingCampbell-Cochranehabitformationinaproductioneconomy Thissectiondescribes atextbookDSGE modelwithnominalrigiditiesthat weaugmentwith nonlinearhabitsinmarketandhomeconsumption. 1.1. Households As inGreenwood and Hercowitz (1991) ourhouseholds obtain utility over consumptionof two types of goods, nondurable goods and services purchased in the market, and goods and services producedathome. Householdsgetusedtoanaccustomedstandardoflivingasrepresentedbysome particularlevelsofconsumptionofthemarket-purchasedgoodandofthehome-producedgood. Identicalconsumersindexedby j ∈ [0,1]havepreferencescapturedbythefunction (cid:88)∞ (cid:18)[C (j)−Xc]1−γ −1 [H(j)−Xh]1−γ −1(cid:19) U (j) = E βt t t +χ t t (1) 0 0 1−γ 1−γ t=0 whereC isrealconsumption purchasedinthemarket and H denotestheconsumption produced t t at home, with production function H = A(1 − N), with N the labor choice and A aggregate t t t t t productivity. Xc and Xh representhabitlevelsthatareanonlinearfunctionofcontemporaneousand t t past consumption. Parameter β is thesubjective discount rateand parameterχ controls thesteadystateeffectofhabits,whilethecurvatureoftheutilityfunctioninmarketandhomeconsumptionis thesametoensurebalancedgrowth(seeCampbellandLudvigson,2001). Weassumeacalibration forχtoachievethesamesteadystateasunderapower-utilityspecification(Xc = Xh = 0). t t Habitsareendogenousstatevariablesthatinduceadepartureoftheequilibriumdynamicsfrom the power-utility specification. As is customary in the extant literature, we assume that the law ofmotionofhabitsisspecifiedindirectlythroughtheprocessesforsurplusmarketconsumption s ≡ ln[(C − Xc)/C ] and surplus home consumption z ≡ ln[(H − Xh)/H] in order to ensure t t t t t t t t consumption levels that never fall below their respective habit levels, and hence well-behaved marginalutilities.

Inadditiontobeingabletoreconcile our modelwith the available evidence ofan intertemporal elasticitylowerthan one, this property preserves the original implicationsof Campbell and Cochrane (1999)for the stochastic discount factor. 5

Macro-financeseparationbyforceofhabit Definition(Macro-financeseparation). Anequilibrium(afeasibleallocationandapricesystemthat solve each household’s and each firm’s problem and clear markets) is macro-financially separate if the equilibrium allocation and equilibrium inflation are the same as in the model without habits (i.e.,suchthat Xc = Xh = 0atalldates). t t The ability to preserve the quantity implications of the underlying real business cycle model is a crucial diagnostic to evaluate a macro-finance model. In making this claim we are taking to the logical extreme the critique made by Lettau and Uhlig (2000), and revived by Uhlig (2007), RudebuschandSwanson(2008)andSwanson(2012),andapplyingittoDSGEmodelswithhabit formationinthespiritofCampbellandCochrane(1999).12 Inourcontext,riskpremiaaredriventofirstorderbythepriceofrisk,whosedynamicsarefully determined bysurplus consumption. Therefore, thenotion of macro-financeseparation boils down totheseparation betweenthedynamicsofrisk premiaandthedynamicsof quantities(including inflation).13 Time-varying risk aversion in turn spills over onto the flexible-price equilibrium allocation if and only if it does so onto the intratemporal rate of substitution that determines the optimal consumption-labor decisions. In a sticky-price equilibrium, however, a spillover ontoconsumption-savingdecisionswould produceanadditional departurefroma macro-finance separation. 2.1.

A positive movement in expected t technologygrowthprompts households,who expectfuture growth,to commanda higherinterest on savings but the real rate increases less than the natural rate as a consequence of the monetary frictions; incentives to save remain too low, so demand and output go above potential and exert upward pressure on marginal costs. This cost effect depresses corporate profits while causing 12

The level of the termstructure of dividendstrips can be veryhigh because of thehigh leverage in corporate profits, which fluctuate more than consumption, as nominal rigidities force firms to act on real wages rather than on prices to absorb the economic shocks, and because of their positive correlation with the priced shock (consumption news). The first dividend strip tends to have a dramatically low payoff precisely in those states in which households are hit by negative consumption shocks. Moreover, the 1-month interest rate is strictly positive by the positive correlationbetweeninflationandconsumptionnews. Short-runslope. Aconditionalmeanoftechnologygrowthaboveaveragetomorrowsignalsgood future cashflows (which increase prices) but also lower future marginal utility (which decreases prices as households want to anticipate consumption). This discount rate effect dominates the cashfloweffectforallclaimsconsideredexceptformarketequities,whosefuturepricestherefore increaseafterapositivelong-runshockandthemoresothelongerthestripduration. Sincepositive long-run shocks tend to arrive together with bad consumption news, it follows that this effect generatesanegativeslopeinthetermstructureofequityandupwardslopesintheremainingterm structures.

Ourframeworkremainedparsimoniousalongmanydimensionsthatcaneasilybegeneralized. Inparticular,furtherworkcouldrelaxthetwo-shockstructureandtheunivariatepriceofrisk. The introduction of demand shocks may help to mitigate the correlation puzzle (e.g., Albuquerque, Eichenbaum,PapanikolauandRebelo,2015,forarecentexposition). Finally, we work under a full macro-finance separation, which is likely an unnecessarily strong requirement;namely,smalldeparturesfrommacro-financeseparationaremostlikelyempirically valid descriptions of the data, as they would for example include the case of stochastic capital accumulation. An estimated model that builds on our framework could identify such spillovers, and hencethe parametervector ξ. In thiscontext,the essentially-affineapproximation by Lopez et al. (2015) is particularly convenient in estimation in that it permits the use of linear filtering techniques. Appendix A.

The home consumption habit is the sum of past anticipated home consumption movements and of a slow moving average of past home consumption innovations, which receive their full weight only asymptotically (lim θ = 1); only unexpected movements in home consumption j→∞ j movehome consumption away from habits, which coincidewith home consumption inthe long run.

As usual, parameter ξ controls the spillover on the 1 2 3 3 1 consumption-saving tradeoff and parameter ξ controls the spillover on the consumption-labor 2 tradeoff.

  abstract = {A downward-sloping term structure of equity and upward-sloping term structures of interest rates arise endogenously in a general-equilibrium model with nominal rigidities and nonlinear habits in consumption. Countercyclical marginal costs exacerbate the procyclicality of dividends after a technology shock, and hence their riskiness, and generate countercyclical inflation. Marginal costs gradually fall after a negative technology shock as the price level increases sluggishly, so the payoffs of short-duration dividend claims (bonds) are more (less) procyclical than the payoffs of long-duration claims (bonds). The simultaneous presence of market and home consumption habits allows for uniting nonlinear habits and a production economy without compromising the ability of the model to fit macroeconomic variables.},
