The Conditional Distribution of Excess Returns: An Empirical Analysis
超额收益的条件分布：一项实证分析
In this article we describe the cumulative distribution function of excess returns conditional on a broad set of predictors that summarize the state of the economy. We do so by estimating a sequence of conditional logit models over a grid of values of the response variable. Our method uncovers higher-order multidimensional structure that cannot be found by modeling only the first two moments of the distribution. We compare two approaches to modeling: one based on a…
