A Quantile Regression Approach to Equity Premium Prediction
We propose a quantile regression approach to equity premium forecasting. Robust point forecasts are generated from a set of quantile forecasts, using both xed and time-varying weighting schemes, thus exploiting the entire distributional information associated with each predictor. Further gains are achieved by incorporating the forecast combination methodology in our quantile regression setting...
متن کاملThe Structural Break in the Equity Premium
This article uses Bayesian marginal likelihood analysis to compare univariate models of the stock return behavior and test for structural breaks in the equity premium. The analysis favors a model that relates the equity premium to Markov-switching changes in the level of market volatility and accommodates volatility feedback. For this model, there is evidence of a one-time structural break in t...
متن کاملPredicting the Equity Premium: The Advantages of Combination Forecasts
While a host of economic variables have been identified in the literature with the apparent in-sample ability to predict the equity premium, Goyal and Welch (2007) find that these variables fail to deliver consistent out-of-sample forecast gains relative to the historical average. In this paper, we demonstrate that despite the failure of individual predictive regression model forecasts to outpe...
متن کاملThe Equity Premium a Puzzle*
Restrictions that a class of general equilibrium models place upon the average returns of equity and Treasury bills are found to be strongly violated by the U.S. data in the 1889-1978 period. This result is robust to model specification and measurement problems. We conclude that, most likely, an equilibrium model which is not an Arrow-Debreu economy will be the one that Simultaneously rationali...
متن کاملThe KPSS test with two structural breaks
In this paper we generalize the KPSS-type test to allow for two structural breaks. Seven models have been de ned depending on the way that the structural breaks a¤ect the time series behaviour. The paper derives the limit distribution of the test both under the null and the alternative hypotheses and conducts a set of simulation experiments to analyse the performance in nite samples. Keywords:...
