A large literature documents a heterogeneous asset price response to macroeconomic news announcements. In order to explain these differences, we define the intrinsic value of a macroeconomic announcement as its ability to nowcast GDP growth, inflation and the federal funds target rate. We then...

The literature documents a heterogeneous asset price response to macroeconomic news announcements: Some announcements have a strong impact on asset prices and others do not. In order to explain these differences, we estimate a novel measure of the intrinsic value of a macroeconomic announcement,...

The literature documents a heterogeneous asset price response to macroeconomic news announcements. We relate this heterogeneity to a novel measure of the intrinsic value of an announcement --- the announcement's ability to nowcast GDP growth, inflation, and the federal funds target rate --- and...

The literature documents a heterogeneous asset price response to macroeconomic news announcements. We explain this variation with a novel measure of the intrinsic value of an announcement - the announcement's ability to nowcast GDP growth, inflation, and the Federal Funds Target Rate - and...
