Long-run Bulls and Bears∗

چکیده
A central challenge in asset pricing is the weak connection between stock returns and observable economic fundamentals. We provide evidence that this connection is stronger than previously thought. We use a modified version of the Bry-Boschan algorithm to identify long-run swings in the stock market. We call these swings long-run bull and bear episodes. We find that there is a high correlation between stock returns and fundamentals across bull and bear episodes. This correlation is much higher than the analogous time-series correlations. We show that several asset pricing models cannot simultaneously account for the low time-series and high episode correlations. J.E.L. Classification: G12.

متن کاملJournalists and the Stock Market ∗
We find that a small set of financial columnists has a causal effect on short-term aggregate stock market prices. For some journalists (“bulls”) the market reaction is consistently positive, whereas for others (“bears”) it is negative. Because bulls and bears are rotated exogenously in our setting, we can make causal inferences about the media’s impact on aggregate market returns. Journalist ef...
