RT Generic T1 Regime specific predictability in predictive regressions A1 Gonzalo, Jesús A1 Pitarakis, Jean-Yves A2 Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. Departamento de Economía, AB Predictive regressions are linear specifications linking a noisy variable such as stock returnsto past values of a more persistent regressor with the aim of assessing the presence ofpredictability. Key complications that arise are the potential presence of endogeneity and thepoor adequacy of asymptotic approximations. In this paper we develop tests for uncoveringthe presence of predictability in such models when the strength or direction of predictabilitymay alternate across different economically meaningful episodes. An empirical applicationreconsiders the Dividend Yield based return predictability and documents a strongpredictability that is countercyclical, occurring solely during bad economic times.
