Volatility Bounds, Size, and Real Activity Prediction

Author:
Nieto, B.   Rubio, G.  


Journal:
Review of Finance


Issue Date:
2014


Abstract(summary):

This article shows how to extract future real activity information from optimally combined size-sorted portfolios. In particular, we analyze the capacity of the size-based model-free Hansen-Jagannathan volatility bound to predict future economic growth. We find that the volatility bound is a powerful in-sample and out-of-sample predictor of future industrial production growth. The asymmetric sensitivities of small and large companies through the business cycle explain our findings. Alternative volatility bounds estimated with sorting procedures based on book-to-market, momentum, or dividend yield do not show these asymmetric sensitivities or forecasting capacity of output growth.
