This paper documents the existence of a slowly evolving trend in the dividend-price ratio, dp, determined by a demographic variable, MY: the middle-aged to young ratio. Deviations of the dividend-price ratio from this slowly evolving long-run component explain transitory but persistent...

We show that low-order autoregression models for short-term expected returns imply long-term dynamics that have a (too) fast vanishing persistence when compared with the evidence from long-horizon predictive regressions. We then propose a novel modeling framework that exploits the low-frequency...

We provide a measure of sparsity for expected returns within the context of classical factor models. Our measure is inversely related to the percentage of active predictors. Empirically, sparsity varies over time and displays an apparent countercyclical behavior. Proxies for financial conditions...

We show that a business-cycle component of consumption growth (dubbed business-cycle consumption) with cycles between 2 and 4 years is effective in explaining the differences in risk premia across alternative test assets, including recently-proposed anomaly portfolios. We formalize the mapping...

We show that the difference between the natural rate of interest and the current level of monetary policy stance, which we label Convergence Gap (CG), contains information that is valuable for bond predictability. Adding CG in forecasting regressions of bond excess returns significantly raises...

I study the effects of changes in risk on asset prices across different time horizons (or time-scales) and provide a new insight into the dynamics of equity premia. I find that, contrary to the implication of standard models such as the Consumption-CAPM, risk premia are weakly related to...
