Future of Work
A curated resource of recent research on trends shaping Canada's labor market.
To better understand how the stock market reacted to the COVID-19 pandemic, this study analyzes stock prices and future earnings estimates from the Institutional Broker’s Estimate System (IBES) database. First, the authors describe expectations dynamics about future corporate earnings. They show that the term structure of earnings expectations has shifted over the course of March, April and May 2020 in a manner that deviates from the literature on expectations and stock returns. Second, they find that discount rate shocks are the main driver of the V-shaped evolution of stock prices.
