Stock return predictability
Let Rt+1 denote the simple return on the aggregate market, e.g. the CRSP-VW index.
Let Dt denote aggregate dividends and dt = log(Dt ).
The ratio Dt /Pt is called the dividend yield while Pt /Dt is called the
price-to-dividend ratio

Interpretation
an increase in the dividend yield of 1 percentage point in deviation from its mean increases the expected real return by 3.49 percentage points (per annum).
note: when returns are regressed on lagged persistent variables such as the dividend/yield, the disturbances are correlated with the regressorís innovation; this tends to create an upward bias in the case of dividend-yield regressions and is called Stambaugh bias; see Stambaugh (1999).
Stambaugh bias implies that OLS coe¢ cients are estimated to be too high.

Relation between Regressions
note that the log dividend/yield in deviation from its mean is (to a Örst-order Taylor expansion) given by:
dpt =Dt/Pt /(D/P)
where D/P is the (unconditional) average dividend/price ratio
so we can state the return regression :
rt+1 = ar +br dpt +ut+1
as follows:
rt+1 = ar +br Dt/Pt / (D/P)+ut+1 the average dividend yield D/P is .035
so the implied coe¢ cient for the regression with the dividend yield is br = .105/.035 = 3.00

Longer Horizons
we run the following regression of k period holding returns on the dividend yield:
∑ r t + i = a r + b rk ( d p ) t + ε t + k
as you increase the horizon k, the slope coe¢ cients brk increase and the R2
Note: in this case, you should account for autocorrelation of residuals up to
and including k 1 observations apart mechanically induced by the overlap I The next couple of slides shows how to do this using HAC standard errors

HAC robust standard errors
If OLS residuals exihibit heteroskedasticity and/or autocorrelation (and, potentially, non-normality), OLS is still consistent
I But, not e¢ cient
I Maximum likelihood is the e¢ cient method in large samples
I OLS is maximum likelihood only when errors are i.i.d. normally distributed
If we still choose OLS (as a linear regression is pretty robust and parsimonious), we need to adjust the standard errors
I HAC (heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation adjusted) standard errors

Please refer back to the “Note on Asymptotic Standard Errors” I posted earlier (which have already read)
Recall, for the case of Asymptotic OLS
yt =xtβ+εt, fort=1,…,T

Newey-West standard errors
Newey and West (1987) solve an issue for the Hansen-Hodrick standard errors
The estimated variance covariance matrix of βˆ can be non-positive deÖnite
I.e., not invertible, “negative variance”
To ensure a positive-deÖnite covariance matrix, downweight estimated autocorrelations more the farther from the 0íth lag:
SˆT =RT 0;βˆT+ ∑q q+1 v hRT v;βˆT+RT v;βˆT0i v =1 q + 1
The Newey-West covariance matrix is then
Est.Asy.Var βˆ = T XT0 XT 1 SˆT XT0 XT 1
For Newey-West (NW) standard errors, should use (k 1) 1.5 or so due to the downweighting in the NW procedure
Note that NW with 0 lags overlap is the same as White standard errors

the R2 in the regression of k period holding returns on the dividend yield is given by:
R2(k) = V[Et[rt+1]+…+Et[rt+k]] V[rt+1 +rt+2 +…+rt+k]
this grows at rate k initially because
I realized returns are negatively autocorrelated
I predicted returns are positively autocorrelated

Linearizing the returns
consider the return on an asset:
P +D Dt+1 (1+PDt+1)
Rt+1 t+1 t+1 = Dt Pt
pdt denotes the log price-dividend ratio
pdt = pt dt = log Pt ,
where price is measured at the end of the period and the dividend áow is over the same period.
also: note that
dpt = pdt

Log-Linearizing returns
Campbell and Shiller (1989) log-linearization of the return equation around the (unconditional) mean log price/dividend ratio delivers the following expression for log returns:
rt+1 = ∆dt+1 +ρpdt+1 +k pdt,
with linearization coe¢ cients ρ and k that depend on the mean of the log
price/dividend ratio pd: epd
ρ = epd + 1 < 1 (the k coe¢ cient not important) this expression is an approximation of an identity. It must hold!

Price/Dividend Ratios
Price/dividend ratios can only move if they predict returns or cash áows:

The pd equation (without expectations) implies that the variance of the price/dividend ratio equals:

Variance Decomposition
The variance decomposition of the log price/dividend ratio is the di§erence between two regression slope coe¢ cients:
covpdt,∑∞ ρj 1∆dt+j covpdt,∑∞ ρj 1rt+j j=1 j=1
1 = V [pdt ] V [pdt ]
Is the variance of the pd-ratio driven by variation in expected cash áows or
expected returns (i.e., discount rates)?

So do the term spread, the default spread and T-bill rates. The R2 increase with the forecasting horizon.

consider 1st order restricted VAR:
rt+1 = ∆dt+1 = dt+1 pt+1 =
ar +brdpt +εrt+1

adp +φdpt +εdp t+1
remember we log-linearized an identity to get:
rt+1 = ∆dt+1 +ρpdt+1 +κ0 pdt.
ρ= epd 1+epd
this implies that there exists a deterministic relationship between these variables.

Cross-equation restrictions
take expectations:
Et[rt+1] = Et[∆dt+1]+ρEt[pdt+1]+κ0 pdt.
go back to the 1st order VAR:
Et [rt+1] Et [∆dt+1] Et[dt+1 pt+1]
= ar + br dpt = ad + bd dpt = adp +φdpt
this implies that:
ar +brdpt = ad +bddpt ρ(adp +φdpt)+κ0 pdt
