Abstract

We consider the relationship between stock prices, volatility and consumer sentiment. The analysis is based on a new multivariate model defined as a time-varying mixture of dynamic models in which instantaneous relationships among variables are allowed and the mixing weights have a threshold-type structure. We discuss issues related to the stability of the model and estimation of its parameters. Our empirical results show that consumer sentiment affects significantly the S&P 500 price–dividend ratio and market volatility in at least one of the two regimes identified by the model, regimes which are associated with endogenously determined low and high consumer sentiment.
