Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conventional tests of the predictability of stock returns could be invalid, that is reject the null too frequently, when the predictor variable is persistent and its innovations are highly correlated with returns. We develop a pretest to determine whether the conventional t-test leads to invalid inference and an efficient test of predictability that corrects this problem. Although the conventional t-test is invalid for the dividend-price and smoothed earnings-price ratios, our test finds evidence for predictability. We also find evidence for predictability with the short rate and the long-short yield spread, for which the conventional t-test leads to valid inference.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 17 (1,3), University of St Andrews (School of Management), course: Investment and Portfolio Management, language: English, abstract: Empirical evidence of stock return predictability obtained by financial ratios or macroeconomic factors has received substantial attention and remains a controversial topic to date. This is no surprise given that the existence of return predictability is not only of interest to practitioners but also introduces severe implications for financial models of risk and return. Founded on the assumption of efficient capital markets, research on capital asset pricing models has instigated this emergence of stock return predictability factors. Analysing these factors categorically, this paper will provide a balanced discussion of advocates as well as sceptics of stock return predictability. This essay will commence by firstly outlining the fundamental assumptions of an efficient capital market and its implications for return predictability. Subsequently, a thorough focus will be placed on the most significant predictability factors, including fundamental financial ratios and macroeconomic indicators as well as the validity of sampling methods used to attain return forecasts. Lastly this essay will reflect on the findings while proposing areas of further research.
Book Synopsis Small-sample Tests for Stock Return Predictability with Possibly Non-stationary Regressors and GARCH-type Effects by : Sermin Gungor
Download or read book Small-sample Tests for Stock Return Predictability with Possibly Non-stationary Regressors and GARCH-type Effects written by Sermin Gungor and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We develop a simulation-based procedure to test for stock return predictability with multiple regressors. The process governing the regressors is left completely free and the test procedure remains valid in small samples even in the presence of non-normalities and GARCH-type effects in the stock returns. The usefulness of the new procedure is demonstrated both in a simulation study and by examining the ability of a group of financial variables to predict excess stock returns. We find robust evidence of predictability during the period 1948-2014, driven entirely by the term spread. This empirical evidence, however, is much weaker over subsamples"--Abstract, p. ii.

Book Synopsis A Closer Look at Return Predictability of the US Stock Market by : Jae H. Kim
Download or read book A Closer Look at Return Predictability of the US Stock Market written by Jae H. Kim and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines return predictability of the U.S. stock market using portfolios sorted by size, book-to-market ratio, and industry. A novel panel variance ratio test is proposed and employed to evaluate time-varying return predictability from 1964 to 2011. It is found that the stock returns have been highly predictable from 1964 to 1996, except for a period around the 1987 stock market crash. After 1997, the stock returns have been unpredictable overall. At a disaggregated level, size and technology have been the major contributors to cross-sectional differences in informational efficiency.
Book Synopsis Predicting Global Stock Returns by : Erik Hjalmarsson
Download or read book Predicting Global Stock Returns written by Erik Hjalmarsson and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I test for stock return predictability in the largest and most comprehensive data set analyzed so far, using four common forecasting variables: the dividend- and earnings-price ratios, the short interest rate, and the term spread. The data contain over 20,000 monthly observations from 40 international markets, including 24 developed and 16 emerging economies. In addition, I develop new methods for predictive regressions with panel data. Inference based on the standard fixed effects estimator is shown to suffer from severe size distortions in the typical stock return regression, and an alternative robust estimator is proposed. The empirical results indicate that the short interest rate and the term spread are fairly robust predictors of stock returns in developed markets. In contrast, no strong or consistent evidence of predictability is found when considering the earnings- and dividend-price ratios as predictors.
Book Synopsis Stock Return Predictability and the Drift Between the Outcomes of Portfolio Investment Strategies by : Dirk P.M. De Wit
Download or read book Stock Return Predictability and the Drift Between the Outcomes of Portfolio Investment Strategies written by Dirk P.M. De Wit and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anomalies found in tests of market efficiency do not necessarily imply that security prices do not reflect all available information, as the asset-pricing model used to describe the return generating process might also be false. In the present study, this joint hypothesis problem does not arise, because no use is made of an asset-pricing model. Instead, stock return predictability is tested by verifying whether the underlying variables of the drift between different types of indexes are correlated. This unambiguously tests for the sources of return predictability, which can be related to empirical anomalies, such as the "firm-size effect" and the "winner-loser effect". The drift between indexes is large if the (cross-sectional) variation of the underlying variables is large relative to their mean values, and vice versa. The size-related drift, for instance, is shown to be particularly large, but it also appears to be easily rendered statistically insignificant.
Book Synopsis The Econometrics of Financial Markets by : John Y. Campbell
Download or read book The Econometrics of Financial Markets written by John Y. Campbell and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2012-06-28 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past twenty years have seen an extraordinary growth in the use of quantitative methods in financial markets. Finance professionals now routinely use sophisticated statistical techniques in portfolio management, proprietary trading, risk management, financial consulting, and securities regulation. This graduate-level textbook is intended for PhD students, advanced MBA students, and industry professionals interested in the econometrics of financial modeling. The book covers the entire spectrum of empirical finance, including: the predictability of asset returns, tests of the Random Walk Hypothesis, the microstructure of securities markets, event analysis, the Capital Asset Pricing Model and the Arbitrage Pricing Theory, the term structure of interest rates, dynamic models of economic equilibrium, and nonlinear financial models such as ARCH, neural networks, statistical fractals, and chaos theory. Each chapter develops statistical techniques within the context of a particular financial application. This exciting new text contains a unique and accessible combination of theory and practice, bringing state-of-the-art statistical techniques to the forefront of financial applications. Each chapter also includes a discussion of recent empirical evidence, for example, the rejection of the Random Walk Hypothesis, as well as problems designed to help readers incorporate what they have read into their own applications.

Book Synopsis Robust Econometric Inference for Stock Return Predictability by : Alexandros Kostakis
Download or read book Robust Econometric Inference for Stock Return Predictability written by Alexandros Kostakis and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines stock return predictability via lagged financial variables with unknown stochastic properties. We conduct a battery of predictability tests for US stock returns during the 1927-2012 period, proposing a novel testing procedure which: i) robustifies inference to the degree of persistence of the employed regressors, ii) accommodates testing the joint predictive ability of financial variables in multiple regression, iii) is easy to implement as it is based on a linear estimation procedure and iv) can be also used for long-horizon predictability tests. We provide some evidence in favor of short-horizon predictability in the full sample period. Nevertheless, this evidence almost entirely disappears in the post-1952 period. Moreover, predictability becomes weaker, not stronger, as the predictive horizon increases.

Book Synopsis Testing the Weak Market Efficiency Hypothesis for the Danish Stock Market by : Kristoffer Breiner Nielsen
Download or read book Testing the Weak Market Efficiency Hypothesis for the Danish Stock Market written by Kristoffer Breiner Nielsen and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper the weak Market Efficiency Hypothesis is tested against the Danish stock market. This is done by applying the Kuan and Lee (2004) test of the Martingale Difference Hypothesis to the returns of three major Danish stock indices. The results show indications of return predictability in the Danish stock market, as a number of the tests reject the null hypothesis of the returns following a MD-sequence, though the results are somewhat inconclusive, and vary across size, observation frequency, industry and time. Finally the results of the Danish stock market are compared to those of other major indices world wide, showing a greater level of return predictability of the Danish stock market. These results are discussed and possible explanations presented in the paper, also comparing the results with those of previous empirical research of the Danish stock market. The paper concludes with a discussion of the joint hypothesis problem of whether the results can be interpreted as if the Danish stock market is weak form efficient.
Book Synopsis Empirical Asset Pricing by : Wayne Ferson
Download or read book Empirical Asset Pricing written by Wayne Ferson and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introduction to the theory and methods of empirical asset pricing, integrating classical foundations with recent developments. This book offers a comprehensive advanced introduction to asset pricing, the study of models for the prices and returns of various securities. The focus is empirical, emphasizing how the models relate to the data. The book offers a uniquely integrated treatment, combining classical foundations with more recent developments in the literature and relating some of the material to applications in investment management. It covers the theory of empirical asset pricing, the main empirical methods, and a range of applied topics. The book introduces the theory of empirical asset pricing through three main paradigms: mean variance analysis, stochastic discount factors, and beta pricing models. It describes empirical methods, beginning with the generalized method of moments (GMM) and viewing other methods as special cases of GMM; offers a comprehensive review of fund performance evaluation; and presents selected applied topics, including a substantial chapter on predictability in asset markets that covers predicting the level of returns, volatility and higher moments, and predicting cross-sectional differences in returns. Other chapters cover production-based asset pricing, long-run risk models, the Campbell-Shiller approximation, the debate on covariance versus characteristics, and the relation of volatility to the cross-section of stock returns. An extensive reference section captures the current state of the field. The book is intended for use by graduate students in finance and economics; it can also serve as a reference for professionals.
Book Synopsis The Adaptive Market Hypothesis and Stock Return Predictability by : Andrew Urquhart
Download or read book The Adaptive Market Hypothesis and Stock Return Predictability written by Andrew Urquhart and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the adaptive market hypothesis of the S&P500, FTSE100, NIKKEI225 and EURO STOXX 50 by testing for stock return predictability using daily data from January 1990 to May 2014. We apply three bootstrapped versions of the variance ratio test to the raw stock returns and also whiten the returns through an AR-GARCH process to study the nonlinear predictability after accounting for conditional heteroscedasticity through the BDS test. We evaluate the time-varying return predictability by applying these tests to fixed length moving subsample windows. We also examine whether there is a relationship between the level of predictability in stock returns and market conditions. The results show that there are periods of significant return predictability, but also episodes of no significant predictability in stock returns. We also find that certain market conditions are significantly related to predictability in certain markets but each market interacts differently with the different market conditions. Therefore our findings suggest that significant return predictability in stock markets does vary over time in a manner consistent with the adaptive market hypothesis and that each market adapts differently to certain market conditions.
