讲座内容简介：We propose an ex-ante rare disaster index relying on the six news implied rare disaster measures of Manela and Moreira (2017). The new index can strongly predict, in-sample and out-of-sample, international stock returns (including both developed and emerging markets) and deliver sizable economic value for investors. The predictive power of the index is above and beyond traditional predictors such as the dividend yield and interest rates. This evidence is consistent with economic theories emphasizing globally shared rare disaster risk and time-varying disaster risk as an important driving force of asset price fluctuations.
