''Predicting the U.S. bear stock market using the consumption-wealth ratio''
( 2012, Vol. 32 No.4 )
 
 
This paper examines the predictive ability of the consumption-wealth ratio for the U.S. bear stock market using quarterly data on the S&P500 index. By evaluating the in-sample and out-of-sample performance with, respectively, the Pseudo-$R^2$ and the quadratic probability score, it is found that the consumption-wealth ratio is a useful leading indicator in predicting bear markets.
