| ''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. |
