On the Theory of Forecast-Horizon in Equity Valuation

Abstract

This paper analyzes how a horizon date affects valuation. We focus on valuation errors that arise because of the horizon, and we assess the magnitudes of such errors. A model due to Ohlson (1995) specifies the information environment. Forecasting of future financial outcomes depends on two kinds of information: current accounting data - earnings, book value, and dividend - and "other", idiosyncratic, information.
