Is Your Auto Insurance Cost Affected By Your Credit Score?
“Can you tell me how to get to the Holiday Inn?”
“Sure. You want to stay on this road for about $6.00 worth, then turn right at the stop sign, go about $1.25, then keep to your left and you will be there in about $3.15.”
Forecasting Economic Activity using Asset PricesPanos Kouvelis
This dissertation evaluates how well the asset prices and, in particular the term spread, the short rate and the real stock returns, forecast the GDP growth and the Industrial Production. The study is applied with data of seven countries (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, United Kingdom and United States) and it covers a period of time between 1966 until now. The research finds that the asset prices have forecasting power for one quarter/month but they lose their power when the forecasting horizon increases. Moreover, the paper evaluates that the real stock return is the best predictor of the GDP growth and that the short rate has more predictive content than the term spread.
Keywords: Term spread, short rate, stock returns, output growth, forecasting horizon, out-of-sample statistics
