Campbell and Shiller (1987) thus utilize the cointegration test to investigate this very relationship with the U.S. stock data, and find that the empirical support of the dividend-discount model seems to be disappointing. This then leads to many subsequent studies such as MacDonald and Power (1995) and Marsh and Power (2000). We try to shed some light on this issue by incorporating the dividend volatility which has been ignored in the previous literature into the model. Following Black (1976), whether stock price responds asymmetrically to positive and negative dividend changes is explored. Data of Taiwan’s electronics industry is used to conduct the study.
