Weak and Semi-strong Form Stock Return Predictability Revisited
نویسنده
چکیده
__________________________________________________________________________________ This paper makes indirect inference about the time-variation in expected stock returns by comparing unconditional sample variances to estimates of expected conditional variances. The evidence reveals more predictability as more information is used, and no evidence that predictability has diminished in recent years. Semi-strong form evidence suggests that time-variation in expected returns remains economically important. __________________________________________________________________________________

Weak-Form and Semi-Strong-Form Stock Return Predictability Revisited
T paper makes indirect inference about the time variation in expected stock returns by comparing unconditional sample variances to estimates of expected conditional variances. The evidence reveals more predictability as more information is used, and there is no evidence that predictability has diminished in recent years. Semi-strong-form evidence suggests that time variation in expected returns...
متن کامل1 Market efficiency and forecasting
The interest in predicting stock prices or returns is probably as old as the markets themselves, and the literature on the subject is enormous. Fama (1970) reviews early work and provides some organizing principles. This chapter concentrates selectively on developments following Fama's review. In that review, Fama describes increasingly fine information sets in a way that is useful in organizin...
متن کاملStock Return Predictability: Evaluation based on prediction intervals
This paper evaluates the predictability of monthly stock return using out-of-sample (multi-step ahead and dynamic) prediction intervals. Past studies have exclusively used point forecasts, which are of limited value since they carry no information about the intrinsic predictive uncertainty associated. We compare empirical performances of alternative prediction intervals for stock return generat...
متن کاملInvestigating Predictability of Different "Forms of Return" in Tehran Stock Exchange: Some Rolling Regressions-based Evidence
This paper has provided "out of sample" evidence of stock returns predictability in Tehran Stock Exchange. 68 qualified companies over the period from 2002 to 2015 were selected and for five different "forms of returns", five superior predictive models have been designed by applying "General to specific" approach of modeling technique. Then "out of sample" analysis, based on rolling regressions...
متن کاملThe Horizon Effect of Stock Return Predictability and Model Uncertainty on Portfolio Choice: UK Evidence
We study how stock return’s predictability and model uncertainty affect a rational buy-and-hold investor’s decision to allocate her wealth for different lengths of investment horizons in the UK market. We consider the FTSE All-Share Index as the risky asset, and the UK Treasury bill as the risk free asset in forming the investor’s portfolio. We identify the most powerful predictors of the stock...
