We investigate the predictive ability of financial and macroeconomic variables for German stock and bond returns using a battery of performance metrics in addition to measures of superior predictive accuracy to identify the ‘best' models. We also examine whether combination forecasts provide...

We demonstrate that the parameters controlling skewness and kurtosis in popular equity return models estimated at daily frequency can be obtained almost as precisely as if volatility is observable by simply incorporating the strong information content of realized volatility measures extracted...

We find out-of-sample predictability of commodity futures excess returns using forecast combinations of 28 potential predictors. Such gains in forecast accuracy translate into economically significant improvements in certainty equivalent returns and Sharpe ratios for a mean-variance investor....

In asset pricing, most studies focus on finding new factors such as macroeconomic factors or firm characteristics to explain risk premium. Investigating whether these factors are useful in forecasting stock returns remains active research in the field of finance and computer science. This paper...

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 …

I generalize the long-run risks (LRR) model of Bansal and Yaron (2004) by incorporating recursive smooth ambiguity aversion preferences from Klibanoff et al. (2005, 2009) and time-varying ambiguity. Relative to the Bansal-Yaron model, the generalized LRR model is as tractable but more flexible...

This paper investigates forecasts of long-term volatility for the fast-growing field of long-short factor strategies in an extensive in- and out-of-sample framework. More in detail, the study follows previous authors by empirically comparing various forecast configurations to provide guidance to...
