论文摘要：In the predictive regression, a less persistent return series is regressed on the first lag of some highly persistent predictors. Therefore, predictability could often be missed due to the persistence imbalance. This paper aims to balance the predictive regression by augmenting the regression with an additional lag of the predictors. This second lag generally reduces the persistence level in the right-hand side of the equation to achieve balance. We then propose a simple test procedure for the univariate and the multivariate predictive regressions, based on least squares estimation. Empirically, we reexamine the popular predictors in the literature, and find quite different results.
