1. Suppose you want to estimate β using OLS from the following model finite sample t =
1, 2, · · · , T, with assumed joint normality of the error terms as shown below. Estimator is βˆ.

We already know from lectures on Stambaugh’s estimator that the model creates a bias in
the estimation of the slope coefficient(also for intercept) when the data has high ρ and δ.

Consider another predictive regression bias-corrected slope estimator by Lewellen(2004, JFE).
The main idea behind it is that the largest possible bias(worst case scenario) occurs when ρ
is equal to one, as xt is considered to be not explosive so it is a good choice for maximum
value. Therefor, he proposes a conservative estimate of the bias-corrected slope conditional

We want to test the hypothesis using the test statistic given below and the standard normal
critical values(two-sided, 5%) under the null of no predictability H0 : β0 = 0. For the given
annual dataset data1945 2015.mat, use them to define the continuously compounded return
rt, as discussed in class, and the log of dividend-price ratio and use it as xt. Its one-period
lag is xt−1 and its average ¯ xt−1.

(a) Write the code to calculate βˆadj = βˆ−βˆuv(ˆ ρ−1). The correct answer is 0.02646(rounded).

(b) Write the code to calculate Qtest. The correct answer is 1.4352(rounded). Can you
reject the null? What about when we choose 10% significance level?
