Abstract

Recent evidence suggests that the variation in the expected excess returns is predictable and arises from changes in business conditions. Using a multi-factor, latent-variable model with time-varying risk premiums, we decompose excess returns into expected and unexpected excess returns to examine what determines movements in expected excess asset returns and to what extent asset returns move together. We find that expected excess returns for Equity Real Estate Investment Trusts (EREITs) are more predictable than all other assets examined, owing in part to cap rates which contain useful information about the general risk condition in the economy. We also find that the conditional risk premiums (expected excess returns) on EREITs move very closely with those of small cap stocks and much less with those of bonds.
