1 Why Does Return Predictability Concentrate in Bad Times? Julien Cujean Michael Hasler EFA 215

2 Empirical Fact Disagreement and the content of news predict stock returns Diether, Malloy, & Scherbina (22), Tetlock (27) Main Fact: This relation is concentrated in bad times Cen, Wei & Yang (214), Garcia (213) 1 / 8

3 Empirical Fact Disagreement and the content of news predict stock returns Diether, Malloy, & Scherbina (22), Tetlock (27) Main Fact: This relation is concentrated in bad times Cen, Wei & Yang (214), Garcia (213) 1 / 8

4 Our Explanation Main Idea: Countercyclical disagreement (Patton and Timmermann (21)) explains observed patterns of time-series predictability 2 / 8

5 Our Explanation Main Idea: Countercyclical disagreement (Patton and Timmermann (21)) explains observed patterns of time-series predictability If disagreement is countercyclical 2 / 8

6 Our Explanation Main Idea: Countercyclical disagreement (Patton and Timmermann (21)) explains observed patterns of time-series predictability If disagreement is countercyclical Predictability strengthens as economic conditions deteriorate 2 / 8

7 Our Explanation Main Idea: Countercyclical disagreement (Patton and Timmermann (21)) explains observed patterns of time-series predictability If disagreement is countercyclical Predictability strengthens as economic conditions deteriorate We build a model consistent with these facts 2 / 8

11 The Model The stock is a claim to the aggregate output: dδ t δ t = f t dt + σ δ dw t Unobservable Agent A f is mean-reverting: df t = κ( f f t )dt + σ f dw f t Agent B f is a 2-state Markov Chain: f t = {f h,f l } ( ) λ λ Λ = ψ ψ 3 / 8

12 The Model The stock is a claim to the aggregate output: dδ t δ t = f t dt + σ δ dw t Unobservable Estimate: ˆf A t = E A t (f t ) Agent A f is mean-reverting: df t = κ( f f t )dt + σ f dw f t Estimate: ˆf B t = E B t (f t ) Agent B f is a 2-state Markov Chain: f t = {f h,f l } ( ) λ λ Λ = ψ ψ 3 / 8
