Standard and Poor

This petroleum and natural gas engineering two-volume handbook is written in the spirit of the classic handbooks of other engineering disciplines.

Table III presents a heterogeneity of sources. House publications often contribute invaluable information respecting new chemicals, uses, and plant construction. The Society and technical journals are often first with the news. The difficulty is to separate the theoretical from that having economic promise. The publications of standard and Poores or Moody s relate to corporations and products. These sources contribute much of corporate plant activities as related to chemicals. Corporate prospectuses and annual reports as submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission bring the data to a producer level.

First, as described earlier, Myers and Shyam-Sunder estimated market value-weighted equity betas for a sample of 17 large U.S. pharmaceutical firms by regressing excess returns (over the Treasury bill rate) against excess returns on Standard and Poor s 500 composite index for 60-month periods ending in December 1979 December 1984 and December 1989. Estimated betas were 0.97, 0.66, and 0.98 respectively (285). 

In an unrelated study, Stewart estimated the market risk premium by comparing Standard and Poor s 500 stocks with long-term (20-year) U.S. Treasury bonds from 1925 to 1989 (409). He found that the risk premium was only 5.8 percent over the period. This would imply a risk premium over the Treasury bill rate (adjusted for long-term forecasts) of just 7.0 percent. 

Plum Creek was a new kind of corporate entity in the Maine Woods—a real estate investment trust (REIT), rather than a traditional timber company. An aggressive buyer, seller, and developer of land that offered consistently high earnings to investors, Plum Creek delivered a 20 percent return in 2007 (five times what Standard and Poors delivered that year).
