Corporate Discount Rates Niels Joachim Gormsen and Kilian Huber – Working paper A new database of firms’ discount rates and costs of capital. The perceived cost of capital is related to the financial cost of capital, but the wedge between discount rates and the perceived cost of capital has grown substantially over the past decades. These dynamics have important implications for how interest rates and asset prices affect corporate investment.
Firms’ Perceived Cost of Capital Niels Joachim Gormsen and Kilian Huber – Working Paper While firms’ perceived cost of capital in part reflects expected returns in financial markets, there are substantial deviations that challenge macro-finance models. Moreover, the cross-sectional variation in the perceived cost of capital runs counter to the predictions of the “Investment CAPM.”
Climate Capitalists Niels Joachim Gormsen, Kilian Huber, and Sangmin Oh – Working Paper “Green investing” has real effects if green firms actually reduce their perceived cost of capital and discount rate in response to green investing. We find that the difference in the perceived cost of capital between the greenest and the brownest firms has fallen since 2016, concurrent with the rise of green investing. Discount rates followed a similar pattern. A survey sheds light on the mechanisms. In a simple model, the observed differences reduce firm-level emissions by 20 percent.
Sticky Discount Rates Masao Fukui , Niels Joachim Gormsen and Kilian Huber – Working Paper Firms’ nominal discount rates are sticky with respect to expected inflation. As a result, real investment demand increases when inflation is high. This mechanism generates a distinct source of monetary non-neutrality and raises investment in response to government spending.

The first measure—denoted by QAVG—uses the sum of the market value of the firm's equity and the book value of its debt, divided by the replacement value of capital. The numerator in the second measure—denoted by QKMV —is equal to the market value of the firm calculated by MKMV using the Merton model discussed above.
