Note: Alternative measures of the ex post rational price p*, obtained by alternative assumptions about the present value in 1979 of dividends thereafter. The middle curve is the p* series plotted in figure I. The series are computed recursively from terminal conditions using dividend series d of Data Set I.
We may also write the model as noted
above in terms of the ex post rational price
series p1* (analogous to the ex post rational
interest rate series that Jeremy Siegel and I
used to study the Fisher effect, or that I used
to study the expectations theory of the term
structure). That is, p1* is the present value of
actual subsequent dividends:
