Stock Return Predictability: Is it There?
We ask whether stock returns in France, Germany, Japan, the UK and the US are predictable by three instruments: the dividend yield, the earnings yield and the short rate. The predictability regression is suggested by a present value model with earnings growth, payout ratios and the short rate as state variables. We find the short rate to be the only robust short-run predictor of excess returns,...
متن کاملStock Market Predictability: Is it There? A Critical Review
This paper aims to survey selected recent papers presenting new evidence on an age-old question in financial economics: “Are stock market returns predictable?”. The hypothesis that equity returns are predictable (specifically at long horizons) has been called a “new fact in finance” by Cochrane (1999). Thus, stock market predictability is now taken almost as a feature of the data. However, ther...
متن کاملStock Return Predictability in a Monetary Economy
In an economy where agents hold money, the short interest rate determines the trade-off between money holdings and consumption. Building on this idea, we develop a theoretical model that shows the transmission mechanism through which the short rate finds its way to stock-return predictability regressions. We construct a cointegration relation that links share prices and dividends to the short i...
متن کاملStock-Return Predictability and Asset Pricing Models
The regression of stock returns on predictive variables, such as dividend yield, has proven useful in optimal portfolio selection when investment opportunities are timevarying. Conditional versions of factor models impose a restriction on that regression, thereby implying a particular portfolio choice. The study examines several pricing models from a perspective of conditional mean-variance opt...
متن کاملThe Limits to Stock Return Predictability∗
We examine predictive return regressions from a new angle. We ask what observable univariate properties of returns tell us about the “predictive space” that defines the true predictive model: the triplet ¡ λ,R2 x, ρ ¢ , where λ is the predictor’s persistence, R2 x is the predictive R-squared, and ρ is the "Stambaugh Correlation" (between innovations in the predictive system). When returns are n...
