Understanding Predictability

چکیده
We propose a general equilibrium model with multiple securities in which investors’ risk preferences and expectations of dividend growth are time-varying. While time-varying risk preferences induce the standard positive relation between the dividend yield and expected returns, time-varying expected dividend growth induces a negative relation between them. These offsetting effects reduce the ability of the dividend yield to forecast returns and eliminate its ability to forecast dividend growth, as observed in the data. The model links the predictability of returns to that of dividend growth, suggesting specific changes to standard linear predictive regressions for both. The model’s predictions are confirmed empirically.

Understanding time-drift for different aircraft descent guidance strategies
In this paper the effect of different aircraft automated descent guidance strategies on fuel burn and the temporal predictability of the executed trajectory is investigated. The paper aims to provide an understanding of how airborne automation can be permitted by Air Traffic Control to remain in control of the descent in the presence of disturbances while providing sufficient predictability. Si...
متن کاملMultiscale Analysis of the Predictability of Stock Returns
Due to the strong complexity of financial markets, economics does not have a unified theory of price formation in financial markets. The most common assumption is the Efficient-Market Hypothesis, which has been attacked by a number of researchers, using different tools. There were varying degrees to which these tools complied with the formal definitions of efficiency and predictability. In our ...

متن کاملPredictability of Streamflow Processes of the Yellow River
Understanding the predictability of a streamflow process is important for making decision for flood control and water management. However not much attention has been paid to the predictability study of streamflow processes so far. Predictability may be broken down into two categories: (1) model predictability and (2) potential predictability. The widely used model performance measure, coefficie...
متن کاملPredictability in Spatially Extended Systems with Model Uncertainty
Macroscopic models for spatially extended systems under random influences are often described by stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs). Some techniques for understanding solutions of such equations, such as estimating correlations, Liapunov exponents and impact of noises, are discussed. They are relevant for understanding predictability in spatially extended systems with model uncer...
متن کاملTail Risk Premia and Return Predictability∗
The variance risk premium, defined as the difference between the actual and riskneutral expectations of the forward aggregate market variation, helps predict future market returns. Relying on new essentially model-free estimation procedure, we show that much of this predictability may be attributed to time variation in the part of the variance risk premium associated with the special compensati...
