Stock prices can be written as expected discounted dividends:
股票價格可以寫成預期貼現股利:
p = E ( c ) k p = E ( c ) k p=(E(c))/(k)p=\frac{E(c)}{k}
where c c cc is the dividend stream and k k kk is the discount rate. This implies that actual returns in any period are given by
其中 c c cc 是股利流, k k kk 是貼現率。這意味著任何期間的實際回報由以下公式給出
d p p + c p = d [ E ( c ) ] E ( c ) d k k + c p d p p + c p = d [ E ( c ) ] E ( c ) d k k + c p (dp)/(p)+(c)/(p)=(d[E(c)])/(E(c))-(dk)/(k)+(c)/(p)\frac{d p}{p}+\frac{c}{p}=\frac{d[E(c)]}{E(c)}-\frac{d k}{k}+\frac{c}{p}
It follows (trivially) that the systematic forces that influence returns are those that change discount factors, k k kk, and expected cash flows, E ( c ) . 2 E ( c ) . 2 E(c).^(2)E(c) .{ }^{2}
由此可知(顯而易見),影響回報的系統性力量是那些改變貼現率 k k kk 和預期現金流量 E ( c ) . 2 E ( c ) . 2 E(c).^(2)E(c) .{ }^{2} 的力量。
The discount rate is an average of rates over time, and it changes with both the level of rates and the term-structure spreads across different maturities. Unanticipated changes in the riskless interest rate will therefore influence pricing, and, through their influence on the time value of future cash flows, they will influence returns. The discount rate also depends on the risk premium; hence, unanticipated changes in the premium will influence returns. On the demand side, changes in the indirect marginal utility of real wealth, perhaps as measured by real consumption changes, will influence pricing, and such effects should also show up as unanticipated changes in risk premia.
貼現率是一段時間內利率的平均值,它會隨著不同期限的利率水平和期限結構差異而改變。因此,無風險利率的意外變化會影響定價,並透過對未來現金流量時間值的影響,影響回報。貼現率也取決於風險溢價;因此,溢價的非預期變化會影響回報。在需求方面,實際財富的間接邊際效用的變化,或許可以用實際消費變化來衡量,將影響定價,而這種影響也應該顯示為風險溢價的非預期變化。
Expected cash flows change because of both real and nominal forces. Changes in the expected rate of inflation would influence nominal expected cash flows as well as the nominal rate of interest. To the extent that pricing is done in real terms, unanticipated price-level changes will have a systematic effect, and to the extent that relative prices change along with general inflation, there can also be a change in asset valuation associated with changes in the average inflation rate. Finally, changes in the expected level of real production would affect the current real value of cash flows. Insofar as the risk-premium measure does not capture industrial production uncertainty, innovations in the rate of productive activity should have an influence on stock returns through their impact on cash flows.
預期現金流量會因為實際和名目兩種力量而改變。預期通貨膨脹率的變化會影響名義預期現金流量以及名義利率。在以實質價格定價時,未預期的價格水平變化會有系統性的影響,而在相對價格隨著一般通貨膨脹而變化時,也會出現與平均通貨膨脹率變化相關的資產估值變化。最後,預期實際生產水平的變化會影響現金流量的當前實際價值。由於風險溢價計量並未反映工業生產的不確定性,生產活動率的創新應該會透過其對現金流量的影響而對股票回報產生影響。

III. Constructing the Economic Factors
III.建構經濟因素

Having proposed a set of relevant variables, we must now specify their measurement and obtain time series of unanticipated movements. We could proceed by identifying and estimating a vector autoregressive model in an attempt to use its residuals as the unanticipated innova-
在提出一組相關變數之後,我們現在必須指定這些變數的量測方式,並取得非預期變動的時間序列。我們可以識別並估計一個向量自回歸模型,嘗試使用其殘值作為非預期的創新。
tions in the economic factors. It is, however, more interesting and (perhaps) robust out of sample to employ theory to find single equations that can be estimated directly. In particular, since monthly rates of return are nearly serially uncorrelated, they can be employed as innovations without alteration. The general impact of a failure adequately to filter out the expected movement in an independent variable is to introduce an errors-in-variables problem. This has to be traded off against the error introduced by misspecification of the estimated equation for determining the expected movement.
經濟因素的影響。然而,在樣本之外,運用理論來尋找可直接估算的單一方程式會更有趣且(或許)更穩 健。特別是,由於每月的回報率幾乎是無序列關聯的,因此可以不加改動地將其作為創新。如果無法充分濾除自變數的預期變動,一般的影響就是會產生變數誤差的問題。這個問題必須與決定預期變動的估算等式的錯誤定義所引入的誤差相抵銷。
A somewhat subtler version of the same problem arises with procedures such as vector autoregression. Any such statistically based timeseries approach will find lagged stock market returns having a significant predictive content for macroeconomic variables. In the analysis of pricing, then, we will indirectly be using lagged stock market variables to explain the expected returns on portfolios of stocks. Whatever econometric advantages such an approach might offer, it is antithetical to the spirit of this investigation, which is to explore the pricing influence of exogenous macroeconomic variables. For this reason, as much as for any other, we have chosen to follow the simpler route in constructing the time series we use. 3 3 ^(3){ }^{3}
向量自回歸(vector autoregression)等程序會產生相同問題的較微妙版本。任何此類以統計學為基礎的時序方法,都會發現滯後的股市回報對宏觀經濟變數有顯著的預測作用。因此,在定價分析中,我們會間接使用滯後的股市變數來解釋股票組合的預期回報。無論這種方法在計量經濟學上有什麼優點,它都與本研究的精神背道而馳,因為本研究的精神是探討外生的宏觀經濟變數對於定價的影響。基於這個原因,我們選擇了更簡單的方法來建立我們使用的時間序列。 3 3 ^(3){ }^{3}
Throughout this paper we adopt the convention that time subscripts apply to the end of the time period. The standard period is 1 month. Thus, E ( t 1 ) E ( t 1 ) E(∣t-1)E(\mid t-1) denotes the expectation operator at the end of month t 1 t 1 t-1t-1 conditional on the information set available at the end of month t t tt -1 , and X ( t ) X ( t ) X(t)X(t) denotes the value of variable X X XX in month t t tt, or the growth that prevailed from the end of t 1 t 1 t-1t-1 to the end of t t tt.
在本文中,我們採用時間下標適用於時期結束的慣例。標準期間為 1 個月。因此, E ( t 1 ) E ( t 1 ) E(∣t-1)E(\mid t-1) 表示 t 1 t 1 t-1t-1 月底的期望算子,條件是 t t tt -1 月底的可用資訊集,而 X ( t ) X ( t ) X(t)X(t) 表示變數 X X XX t t tt 月的值,或從 t 1 t 1 t-1t-1 月底到 t t tt 月底的普遍成長。

A. Industrial Production A.工業生產

The basic series is the growth rate in U.S. industrial production. It was obtained from the Survey of Current Business. If IP ( t ) ( t ) (t)(t) denotes the rate of industrial production in month t t tt, then the monthly growth rate is
基本數列是美國工業生產的成長率。它取自於「當前業務調查」(Survey of Current Business)。如果 IP ( t ) ( t ) (t)(t) 表示 t t tt 月份的工業生產率,則每月的增長率為
MP ( t ) = log e IP ( t ) log e IP ( t 1 ) MP ( t ) = log e IP ( t ) log e IP ( t 1 ) MP(t)=log_(e)IP(t)-log_(e)IP(t-1)\operatorname{MP}(t)=\log _{e} \operatorname{IP}(t)-\log _{e} \operatorname{IP}(t-1)
and the yearly growth rate is
而每年的成長率為
YP ( t ) = log e IP ( t ) log e IP ( t 12 ) YP ( t ) = log e IP ( t ) log e IP ( t 12 ) YP(t)=log_(e)IP(t)-log_(e)IP(t-12)\mathrm{YP}(t)=\log _{e} \mathrm{IP}(t)-\log _{e} \operatorname{IP}(t-12)
(see table 1 for a summary of variables).
(變數摘要請參閱表 1)。

Because IP ( t ) IP ( t ) IP(t)\operatorname{IP}(t) actually is the flow of industrial production during month t , MP ( t ) t , MP ( t ) t,MP(t)t, \operatorname{MP}(t) measures the change in industrial production lagged by at least a partial month. To make this variable contemporaneous with other series, subsequent statistical work will lead it by 1 month. Except for an annual seasonal, it is noisy enough to be treated as an innovation.
由於 IP ( t ) IP ( t ) IP(t)\operatorname{IP}(t) 實際上是當月的工業生產流量,因此 t , MP ( t ) t , MP ( t ) t,MP(t)t, \operatorname{MP}(t) 量度的是至少滯後一個月的工業生產變化。為了讓這個變數與其他序列同步,後續的統計工作會將它滯後 1 個月。除了年度季節性之外,它的雜訊足以被視為創新。

The monthly series of yearly growth rates, YP ( t ) YP ( t ) YP(t)\mathrm{YP}(t), was examined because the equity market is related to changes in industrial activity in the long run. Since stock market prices involve the valuation of cash flows over long periods in the future, monthly stock returns may not be highly related to contemporaneous monthly changes in rates of industrial production, although such changes might capture the information pertinent for pricing. This month’s change in stock prices probably reflects changes in industrial production anticipated many months into
研究年增長率的每月序列 YP ( t ) YP ( t ) YP(t)\mathrm{YP}(t) ,是因為股票市場與長期的工業活動變化有關。由於股票市場價格涉及未來長期現金流量的估值,因此每月股票回報可能與同期工業生產率的每月變化關係不大,儘管這些變化可能捕捉到與定價相關的資訊。本月的股票價格變化可能反映了未來多個月的工業生產預測變化。

the future. Therefore, subsequent statistical work will lead this variable by 1 year, similar to the variable used in Fama (1981).
未來。因此,後續的統計工作會將此變數導向 1 年,類似於 Fama (1981) 所使用的變數。
Because of the overlap in the series, YP ( t ) YP ( t ) YP(t)\mathrm{YP}(t) is highly autocorrelated. A procedure was developed for forecasting expected YP ( t ) YP ( t ) YP(t)\mathrm{YP}(t) and a series of unanticipated changes in YP ( t ) YP ( t ) YP(t)\mathrm{YP}(t), and changes in the expectation itself were examined for their influence on pricing. The resulting series offered no discernible advantage over the raw production series, and, as a consequence, they have been dropped from the analysis. 4 4 ^(4){ }^{4}
由於序列的重疊, YP ( t ) YP ( t ) YP(t)\mathrm{YP}(t) 具有高度的自關性。我們開發了一套程序來預測預期 YP ( t ) YP ( t ) YP(t)\mathrm{YP}(t) YP ( t ) YP ( t ) YP(t)\mathrm{YP}(t) 的一系列非預期變化,並檢查預期本身的變化對定價的影響。由此產生的系列與原始生產系列相比沒有明顯的優勢,因此,這些系列已從分析中剔除。 4 4 ^(4){ }^{4}

B. Inflation B.通貨膨脹

Unanticipated inflation is defined as
非預期通貨膨脹的定義為
UI ( t ) = I ( t ) E [ I ( t ) t 1 ] UI ( t ) = I ( t ) E [ I ( t ) t 1 ] UI(t)=I(t)-E[I(t)∣t-1]\mathrm{UI}(t)=\mathrm{I}(t)-\mathrm{E}[\mathrm{I}(t) \mid t-1]
where I ( t ) I ( t ) I(t)\mathrm{I}(t) is the realized monthly first difference in the logarithm of the Consumer Price Index for period t t tt. The series of expected inflation, E [ I ( t ) t 1 ] E [ I ( t ) t 1 ] E[I(t)∣t-1]\mathrm{E}[\mathrm{I}(t) \mid t-1] for the period 1953-78, is obtained from Fama and Gibbons (1984). If RHO ( t ) ( t ) (t)(t) denotes the ex post real rate of interest applicable in period t t tt and TB ( t 1 ) TB ( t 1 ) TB(t-1)\mathrm{TB}(t-1) denotes the Treasury-bill rate known at the end of period t 1 t 1 t-1t-1 and applying to period t t tt, then Fisher’s equation asserts that
其中 I ( t ) I ( t ) I(t)\mathrm{I}(t) t t tt 期間消費者物價指數對數的已實現每月第一差值。1953-78 年間的預期通貨膨脹系列 E [ I ( t ) t 1 ] E [ I ( t ) t 1 ] E[I(t)∣t-1]\mathrm{E}[\mathrm{I}(t) \mid t-1] 取自 Fama and Gibbons (1984)。如果 RHO ( t ) ( t ) (t)(t) 表示在 t t tt 期間適用的事後實際利率,而 TB ( t 1 ) TB ( t 1 ) TB(t-1)\mathrm{TB}(t-1) 表示在 t 1 t 1 t-1t-1 期間結束時已知並適用於 t t tt 期間的國庫券利率,那麼費雪公式會斷言
TB ( t 1 ) = E [ RHO ( t ) t 1 ] + E [ I ( t ) t 1 ] TB ( t 1 ) = E [ RHO ( t ) t 1 ] + E [ I ( t ) t 1 ] TB(t-1)=E[RHO(t)∣t-1]+E[I(t)∣t-1]\mathrm{TB}(t-1)=\mathrm{E}[\mathrm{RHO}(t) \mid t-1]+\mathrm{E}[\mathrm{I}(t) \mid t-1]
Hence, TB ( t 1 ) I ( t ) TB ( t 1 ) I ( t ) TB(t-1)-I(t)\mathrm{TB}(t-1)-\mathrm{I}(t) measures the ex post real return on Treasury bills in the period. From a time-series analysis of this variable, Fama and Gibbons (1984) constructed a time series for E [ RHO ( t ) t 1 ] E [ RHO ( t ) t 1 ] E[RHO(t)∣t-1]\mathrm{E}[\mathrm{RHO}(t) \mid t-1]. Our expected inflation variable is defined by subtracting their time series for the expected real rate from the TB ( t 1 ) TB ( t 1 ) TB(t-1)\mathrm{TB}(t-1) series.
因此, TB ( t 1 ) I ( t ) TB ( t 1 ) I ( t ) TB(t-1)-I(t)\mathrm{TB}(t-1)-\mathrm{I}(t) 衡量的是該期間國庫券的事後實際回報。Fama 和 Gibbons (1984) 從這個變數的時間序列分析中,建構了 E [ RHO ( t ) t 1 ] E [ RHO ( t ) t 1 ] E[RHO(t)∣t-1]\mathrm{E}[\mathrm{RHO}(t) \mid t-1] 的時間序列。我們的預期通貨膨脹變數的定義是從 TB ( t 1 ) TB ( t 1 ) TB(t-1)\mathrm{TB}(t-1) 系列中減去他們的預期實際利率時間序列。
Another inflation variable that is unanticipated and that might have an influence separable from UI is
另一個未預期的通貨膨脹變數,其影響可能與 UI 分離,那就是
DEI ( t ) = E [ I ( t + 1 ) t ] E [ I ( t ) t 1 ] DEI ( t ) = E [ I ( t + 1 ) t ] E [ I ( t ) t 1 ] DEI(t)=E[I(t+1)∣t]-E[I(t)∣t-1]\mathrm{DEI}(t)=\mathrm{E}[\mathrm{I}(t+1) \mid t]-\mathrm{E}[\mathrm{I}(t) \mid t-1]
the change in expected inflation. We subscript this variable with t t tt since it is (in principle) unknown at the end of month t 1 t 1 t-1t-1. While, strictly speaking, DEI ( t ) ( t ) (t)(t) need not have mean zero, under the additional assumption that expected inflation follows a martingale this variable may be treated as an innovation, and it may contain information not present in the UI variable. This would occur whenever inflation forecasts are influenced by economic factors other than past forecasting errors. (Notice that the UI series and the DEI series will contain the information in a series of innovations in the nominal interest rate, TB. ) 5 ) 5 )^(5))^{5}
預期通貨膨脹的變化。我們用 t t tt 來標記這個變數,因為它在 t 1 t 1 t-1t-1 月底(原則上)是未知的。雖然嚴格來說,DEI ( t ) ( t ) (t)(t) 的均值不一定為零,但在預期通貨膨脹遵循馬丁式(martingale)的額外假設下,這個變數可被視為創新,它可能包含 UI 變數中沒有的資訊。當通貨膨脹預測受到過去預測錯誤以外的經濟因素影響時,就會出現這種情況。(請注意,UI 數列和 DEI 數列將包含名目利率 TB 的一系列創新中的資訊。 ) 5 ) 5 )^(5))^{5}

C. Risk Premia C.風險溢價

To capture the effect on returns of unanticipated changes in risk premia, we will employ another variable drawn from the money markets. The variable, UPR, is defined as
為了捕捉風險溢價的非預期變化對回報的影響,我們將採用另一個來自貨幣市場的變數。變數 UPR 定義為

UPR ( t ) = UPR ( t ) = UPR(t)=\operatorname{UPR}(t)= ‘Baa and under’’ bond portfolio return ( t ) LGB ( t ) ( t ) LGB ( t ) (t)-LGB(t)(t)-\operatorname{LGB}(t),
UPR ( t ) = UPR ( t ) = UPR(t)=\operatorname{UPR}(t)= 「Baa 及以下」' 債券組合回報 ( t ) LGB ( t ) ( t ) LGB ( t ) (t)-LGB(t)(t)-\operatorname{LGB}(t)

where LGB ( t ) LGB ( t ) LGB(t)\operatorname{LGB}(t) is the return on a portfolio of long-term government bonds obtained from Ibbotson and Sinquefield (1982) for the period 1953-78. From 1979 through 1983, LGB ( t ) ( t ) (t)(t) was obtained from the Center for Research in Securities Prices (CRSP) data file. Again, UPR is not formally an innovation, but, as the differences in two return series, it is sufficiently uncorrelated that we can treat it as unanticipated, and we will use it as a member of the set of economic factors.
其中, LGB ( t ) LGB ( t ) LGB(t)\operatorname{LGB}(t) 是長期政府債券組合的報酬率,取自 Ibbotson 和 Sinquefield (1982),期間為 1953-78 年。從 1979 年到 1983 年,LGB ( t ) ( t ) (t)(t) 取自證券價格研究中心 (CRSP) 的資料檔案。同樣地,UPR 並非正式的創新,但由於它是兩個回報序列的差異,具有足夠的非相關性,我們 可以將它視為非預期的,因此我們將它作為經濟因素集的一員。
The low-grade bond return series is for nonconvertible corporate bonds, and it was obtained from R. G. Ibbotson and Company for the period prior to 1977. A detailed description of the sample is contained in Ibbotson (1979). The low-grade series was extended through 1983 by choosing 10 bonds whose ratings on January 1966 were below Baa. By 1978 these bonds still were rated below Baa, but their maturity was shorter than that of the long-term government bond series. These 10 bonds were then combined with three that were left over from the Ibbotson series at the end of 1978 to create a low-grade bond portfolio of 13 bonds in all. The returns on this portfolio were then used to extend the UPR series beyond 1977 and through 1983. Two further difficulties with the series are that the ratings have experienced considerable inflation since the mid-1950s and that the low-grade series contains bonds that are unrated.
低等級債券收益率系列為不可轉換公司債券,1977 年以前的數據來自 R. G. Ibbotson and Company。Ibbotson (1979)對於樣本的詳細說明。低評級系列透過選擇 1966 年 1 月評等低於 Baa 的 10 筆債券,延伸至 1983 年。到 1978 年,這些債券的評等仍低於 Baa,但其到期日短於長期政府債券系列。這 10 種債券再加上 1978 年底 Ibbotson 系列剩下的 3 種債券,就形成了總共 13 種債券的低等級債券組合。這個組合的回報被用來將 UPR 系列延伸至 1977 年以後,直到 1983 年。該系列還有兩個難題,一是自 1950 年代中期以來,評等經歷了相當大的通貨膨脹,二是低等級系列包含了未評等級的債券。
The UPR variable would have mean zero in a risk-neutral world, and it is natural to think of it as a direct measure of the degree of risk aversion implicit in pricing (at least insofar as the rating agencies maintain constant standards for their classifications). We hoped that UPR would reflect much of the unanticipated movement in the degree of risk aversion and in the level of risk implicit in the market’s pricing of stocks. 6 6 ^(6){ }^{6}
在風險中性的世界中,UPR 變數的平均值為零,因此很自然地將其視為直接量度定價中隱含的風險迴避程度 (至少在評等機構維持其分類標準不變的情況下是如此)。我們希望 UPR 能夠反映出風險厭惡程度和市場股票定價中隱含的風險水平的大部分意外變動。 6 6 ^(6){ }^{6}

To capture the influence of the shape of the term structure, we employ another interest rate variable,
為了捕捉期限結構形狀的影響,我們採用了另一個利率變數、
UTS ( t ) = LGB ( t ) TB ( t 1 ) UTS ( t ) = LGB ( t ) TB ( t 1 ) UTS(t)=LGB(t)-TB(t-1)\operatorname{UTS}(t)=\operatorname{LGB}(t)-\operatorname{TB}(t-1)
Again, under the appropriate form of risk neutrality,
同樣,在風險中性的適當形式下、
E [ UTS ( t ) t 1 ] = 0 E [ UTS ( t ) t 1 ] = 0 E[UTS(t)∣t-1]=0\mathrm{E}[\mathrm{UTS}(t) \mid t-1]=0
and this variable can be thought of as measuring the unanticipated return on long bonds. The assumption of risk neutrality is used only to isolate the pure term-structure effects; the variable UPR is used to capture the effect of changes in risk aversion.
而此變數可被視為量度長期債券的非預期回報。風險中性的假設只用來隔離純粹的期限結構效應;變數 UPR 用來捕捉風險厭惡的變化效應。

E. Market Indices E.市場指數

The major thrust of our effort is to examine the relation between nonequity economic variables and stock returns. However, because of the smoothing and averaging characteristics of most macroeconomic time series, in short holding periods, such as a single month, these series cannot be expected to capture all the information available to the market in the same period. Stock prices, on the other hand, respond very quickly to public information. The effect of this is to guarantee that market returns will be, at best, weakly related and very noisy relative to innovations in macroeconomic factors.
我們努力的重點在於檢視非股票經濟變數與股票回報之間的關係。然而,由於大多數宏觀經濟時間序列都具有平滑化和平均化的特性,因此在短持有期(例如單月)內,我們無法期望這些序列能夠捕捉到市場在同一時期內可獲得的所有資訊。另一方面,股票價格對公開資訊的反應非常迅速。這就保證了市場回報充其量只是與宏觀經濟因素的創新呈現微弱的關係,而且非常嘈雜。
This should bias our results in favor of finding a stronger linkage between the time-series returns on market indices and other portfolios of stock returns than between these portfolio returns and innovations in the macro variables. To examine the relative pricing influence of the traditional market indices we used the following variables:
這應會使我們的結果偏向於發現市場指數的時間序列回報與其他股票回報組合之間的聯繫,比這些組合回報與宏觀變數的創新之間的聯繫更強。為了檢視傳統市場指數的相對定價影響,我們使用了下列變數:

EWNY ( t ) = EWNY ( t ) = EWNY(t)=\operatorname{EWNY}(t)= return on the equally weighted NYSE index;
EWNY ( t ) = EWNY ( t ) = EWNY(t)=\operatorname{EWNY}(t)= 等權紐約證券交易所指數的報酬率;

VWNY ( t ) = VWNY ( t ) = VWNY(t)=\operatorname{VWNY}(t)= return on the value-weighted NYSE index.
VWNY ( t ) = VWNY ( t ) = VWNY(t)=\operatorname{VWNY}(t)= 價值加權 NYSE 指數的報酬率。

These variables should reflect both the real information in the industrial production series and the nominal influence of the inflation variables.
這些變數應同時反映出工業生產系列的實際資訊,以及通貨膨脹變數的名義影響。

F. Consumption F.消耗量

In addition to the macro variables discussed above, we also examined a time series of percentage changes in real consumption, CG. The series is in real per capita terms and includes service flows. It was constructed by dividing the CITIBASE series of seasonally adjusted real consumption (excluding durables) by the Bureau of Census’s monthly population estimates. The CG series extends from January 1959 to December 1983, and it is an extension of a series obtained from Lars Hansen for the period through 1979. A detailed description of its construction can be found in Hansen and Singleton (1983).
除了以上討論的宏觀變數外,我們也檢視了實際消費百分比變化的時間序列 CG。該數列以實際人均計算,並包括服務流量。它是由 CITIBASE 經季節性調整的實際消費(不含耐用品)數列除以人口普查局的每月人口估計數 字所組成。CG 系列從 1959 年 1 月延伸至 1983 年 12 月,是 Lars Hansen 所提供的 1979 年以前的系列的延伸。有關其結構的詳細說明,請參閱 Hansen and Singleton (1983)。

G. Oil Prices G. 石油價格

It is often argued that oil prices must be included in any list of the systematic factors that influence stock market returns and pricing. To test this proposition and to examine another alternative to the macro variables discussed above, we formed the OG series of realized
常有人認為,在任何影響股市回報和定價的系統因素清單中,都必須包括油價。為了驗證這一主張,並研究上述宏觀變數的另一種替代方案,我們將已實現的石油價格形成 OG 系 列。
