Description:
This paper considers a new perspective on the relationship between stock prices and inflation, by estimating the common long-term trend in the earning-price ratio and inflation. We find that the transitory deviations from this common trend exhibit substantial out-of-sample forecasting abilities for excess returns at short and intermediate horizons.
