I stud y how individual dividends are priced across the cross-section of U.S. sto cks. I construct and estimate the prices of synthetic dividend strips with 1-year and 2-year maturities using equity options. I document that cross- sectional variations in short-term dividend prices are substantial and dri ven predominantly by differences in discount rates. Short-term dividend st rips with lower price-dividend ratios deliver higher average returns than those with higher price-dividend ratios. Moreover\, the cross-sectional va riations in maturity-specific discount rates appear to decline with maturi ty\, at least at the short end. Finally\, I interpret these cross-sectiona l variations in discount rates using asset pricing theory. I evaluate thre e leading cross-sectional asset pricing models and find that the model by Kogan and Papanikolaou (2013) aligns most closely with my findings.\n DTSTART:20250211T163000Z DTEND:20250211T180000Z LOCATION:Room 265\, Donald E.
