Biases and lags in book value and their effects on the ability of the book-to-market ratio to predict book return on equity

Article Abstract:

Two sources of variation in book-to-market value, bias and lags in the book value, are distinguished according to their implications for the ability of the book-to-market ratio to predict future book return on equity. A hypothesis that the bias component has a more persistent association with future results is presented and validated. Decomposing he book-to-market ratio into bias and lag components reveals that each has different associations with future book return on equity.
