Bonferroni‐Type Tests for Return Predictability With Possibly Trending Predictors
可能含趋势的预测变量与收益可预测性 Bonferroni 检验
ABSTRACT The Bonferroni test is widely used in empirical studies investigating predictability in asset returns by strongly persistent and endogenous predictors. Its formulation, however, only allows for a constant mean in the predictor, seemingly at odds with many of the predictors used in practice. We establish the asymptotic size and local power properties of the test, and the corresponding Bonferroni ‐test, under a local‐to‐zero specification for a linear trend in the…
