One of the capital asset pricing models is CCAPM model that first time were presented by Breeden (1979). In the standard and the basic CCAPM establishes a linear relationship between consumption’s beta and excess return on assets but unfortunately, linear CCAPM made The Equity Premium Puzzle. After presenting puzzles like equity premium puzzle, adjustments were made in the CCAPM. For this purpose in this paper, adjustments have been made in the preferences as explores the implications of a novel class of preferences for the behavior of asset prices. This class of preferences was suggested first time by Marshall (1920), that according to it, people derive utility not only from consumption, but also from the very act of saving.
In this paper, we derive the Euler equations after modeling preferences based on the savings and consumption estimate them with GMM. In order to estimate the models, is examined quarterly data of 1977 to 2010. The models are significant in the other words it can be concluded that consumption and saving are successful in explaining stocks returns. Based on the estimated parameters in the models we can conclude that β is greater than 0.8 and savings is significant in preferences function but don’t have high value. In addition, these results indicate that economic agents are risk averse.

The main purpose of this study, is to evaluate the effect of diversion earnings forecast and earnings realized on returns stocks in Tehran Stock Exchange. In fact, this research aims to examine the diversion of earnings resulting from the diversion of corporates managers forecasts earnings, what impact these diversion of earnings have on the returns of stock price. To achieve this, 194 companies listed in the Tehran Stock Exchange selected in the period of 2005-2013.
In this study, two groups of companies experienced the highest returns and lowest returns over the period studied, have been selected. Multi-factor model of Fama and French (1993) was used as the theoretical basis. The results indicate that forecasts of companies have experienced highest returns in comparison with lowest returns are more cautious and accurate than prediction of their future earnings. Changes in earnings realized and Tehran Stock Exchange index returns have positive and considerable relationship with stock returns as well, but these relationships for companies with highest returns are stronger than companies with lowest returns.
