Recent theoretical work has revealed a direct connection between asset return volatility forecastability and asset return sign forecastability. This suggests that the pervasive volatility forecastability in equity returns could, via induced sign forecastability, be used to produce...

It is well-known that maximum likelihood (ML) estimation of the autoregressive parameter of a dynamic panel data model with .xed eects is inconsistent under .xed time series sample size (T) and large cross section sample size (N) asymptotics. The estimation bias is particularly relevant in...
