The so-called Fed model postulates that the dividend or earnings yield on stocks equals the yield on nominal Treasury bonds, or at least that they should be highly correlated. Indeed, there is a strikingly high time series correlation between the yield on nominal bonds and the dividend yield on...

Historically, inflation is negatively correlated with stock returns, leading investors to fear inflation. We document using a variety of measures that this association became positive in the U.S. during the 2008-2015 period. We then show how an off-the-shelf New Keynesian model can reproduce...
