A Consumption-Based Asset Pricing Model with Accounting Numbers: Corporate Earnings and Book Value Are As Real As Consumption

Yoshitaka Fukui
Aoyama Gakuin University Graduate School of International Management

Abstract: Combining (i) a consumption-based asset pricing model without “market” return derived by Restoy and Weil (2004) and (ii) a log-linearized clean-surplus relation by Vuolteenaho (2000), I have developed a consumption and accounting-based asset pricing model. Accounting numbers are not pieces of information possibly useful for investment decision-making, but crucial ingredients as real as consumption for utility-maximizing rational asset pricing. The model is, however, directly linked to current valuation studies in the accounting literature, and can be considered a data-acceptable consumption-based Ohlson model.
