We show that the higher-orders and their interactions of the common sparse linear factors can effectively subsume the factor zoo. We propose a forward selection Fama-MacBeth procedure as a method to estimate a high-dimensional stochastic discount factor model, isolating the most relevant...

This paper investigates the relationship between economic policy uncertainty (EPU), an index capturing newspaper coverage of policy-related issues, and momentum profits. Momentum remains an unexplained anomaly. Our findings reveal a statistically negative association between EPU and hedge...

We construct a 3-factor, directed technical change growth model that ex-hibits capital-augmenting technical change on the balanced growth path (BGP), circumventing the issues usually caused by the 2-factor Uzawa growth theorem. We calibrate the model to the United States and consider a...
