TY - JOUR T1 - Teaching an Old Dog New Tricks: Using the Dividend Growth Model in Financial Planning JF - Journal of Economics and Finance Education Y1 - 2007 A1 - Brooks,Raymond A1 - Yang,Jimmy KW - Finance AB - The Dividend Growth Model is a standard pedagogical tool in pricing stocks where the dividend grows at a constant rate. However, few dividend policies conform to this restrictive pattern and therefore the model is often quickly discarded in finance classes. The constant growth assumption of a cash flow stream fits well with other financial problems such as saving for a college education or contributions to a pension plan. This paper presents a couple of applications for the Dividend Growth Model plus an extension to the model and belies the adage: you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
