tailieunhanh - Stock Returns and Expected Business Conditions: Half a Century of Direct Evidence

At acquisition an entity must classify a security within the scope of ASC 320 into one of three categories: trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. The category designation of each security will determine the measurement basis (., amortized cost versus fair value) of the security and how it will be presented and disclosed in the financial statements. As entities decide on investment classifications, they should consider how those decisions may affect future business plans or opportunities. For example, an entity should consider the possibility that it might have to sell some of its securities to take advantage of a potential future. | Stock Returns and Expected Business Conditions Half a Century of Direct Evidence Sean D. Campbell Francis X. Diebold Federal Reserve Board University of Pennsylvania and NBER May 2005 This Draft Print December 27 2007 Abstract Using half a century of Livingston survey data on expected business conditions we characterize directly the impact of expected business conditions on expected excess stock returns. Expected business conditions consistently affect expected excess returns in a statistically and economically significant counter-cyclical fashion Depressed expected business conditions are associated with high expected excess returns. Moreover inclusion of expected business conditions in otherwise-standard predictive return regressions substantially reduces the explanatory power of the conventional financial predictors including the dividend yield default premium and term premium while simultaneously increasing R 2. Expected business conditions retain predictive power even after controlling for an important and recently introduced non-financial predictor the generalized consumption wealth ratio which accords with the view that expected business conditions play a role in asset pricing different from and complementary to that of the consumption wealth ratio. We argue that time-varying expected business conditions likely capture time-varying risk while time-varying consumption wealth may capture time-varying risk aversion.
