Data Revisions and Out-of-Sample Stock Return Predictability
Lettau and Ludvigson (2001) find that the consumption-wealth ratio (cay) constructed from revised data is a strong predictor of stock market returns. This paper shows that its out-ofsample forecasting power becomes substantially weaker if cay is estimated using information available at the time of forecast. The difference, which mainly reflects periodic revisions in consumption and labor income...
متن کاملDwarfs in the rearview mirror: how big are they really?
Online-Analytical Processing (OLAP) has been a field of competing technologies for the past ten years. One of the still unsolved challenges of OLAP is how to provide quick response times on any Terabyte-sized business data problem. Recently, a very clever multi-dimensional index structure termed Dwarf [26] has been proposed offering excellent query response times as well as unmatched index comp...
متن کاملReconciling the Return Predictability Evidence
Evidence of stock-return predictability by financial ratios is still controversial, as documented by inconsistent results for in-sample and out-of-sample regressions and by substantial parameter instability. This article shows that these seemingly incompatible results can be reconciled if the assumption of a fixed steady state mean of the economy is relaxed. We find strong empirical evidence in...
متن کاملStock and bond return predictability: the discrimination power of model selection criteria
We analyze the discrimination power of well-known model selection criteria when R2 is low as in typical asset return predictability studies. We ...nd that the discrimination power is low in this setup and in particular give another interpretation to the well-cited Bossaerts and Hillion (1999) study. We then look at model selection criteria in a testing framework and propose, as a diagnostic too...
متن کاملElusive Return Predictability∗
Investors’ search for successful forecasting models leads the data generating process for financial returns to change over time which means that individual return forecasting models can at best hope to uncover evidence of ‘local’ predictability. We illustrate this point on a suite of forecasting models used to predict US stock returns and propose an adaptive forecast combination approach. Most ...
