In this paper, we extend Bossaerts' (2004) analysis of the implications of the efficient learning market hypothesis (ELM) for asset prices by reformulating it in a GMM setting. Our representation is more amenable to widespread application and allows the econometrician, in testing ELM, to make...

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....

We propose a novel upper bound on the predictability of asset returns. This bound is tighter than the bound proposed by Ross (2005) because it takes into account not only the volatility of the pricing kernel but also the correlation between the pricing kernel and trading strategies that exploit...
