Accurate prediction of risk measures such as Value at Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES) requires precise estimation of the tail of the predictive distribution. Two novel concepts are introduced that offer a specific focus on this part of the predictive density: the censored posterior, a...

Fundamental economic conditions are crucial determinants of equity premia. However, commonly used predictors do not adequately capture the changing nature of economic conditions and hence have limited power in forecasting equity returns. To address the inadequacy, this paper constructs macro...

Any time series can be decomposed into cyclical components fluctuating at different frequencies. Accordingly, in this paper we propose a method to forecast the stock market's equity premium which exploits the frequency relationship between the equity premium and several predictor variables. We...

Technical trading rules are widely used by practitioners to forecast the U.S. equity premium. I decompose technical indicators into components with frequency-specific information, showing that the predictive power comes from medium-frequency variation in buy and sell signals, without much...

We propose a new measure of the expected variance risk premium that is based on a forecast of the conditional variance from a GARCH-MIDAS model. We find that the new measure has strong predictive ability for future U.S. aggregate stock market returns and rationalize this result by showing that...

The emergence of algorithmic high-frequency trading in the market for credit risk affords accurate inference of new risk measures. When combined with machine learning predictive methods, these measures forecast substantial future changes in firms' credit and equity risk premiums in...

This paper examines the role of information from the options market in forecasting the equity premium. We provide empirical evidence that the equity premium is predictable out-of-sample using a set of CBOE strategy benchmark indices as predictors. We use a range of econometric approaches to...

We assess financial theory-based and machine learning-implied measurements of stock risk premia by comparing the … preferable to rely on a theory-based approach instead of engaging in the computerintensive hyper-parameter tuning of statistical … models. The theory-based approach also delivers a solid performance at the one year horizon, at which only one machine …
