摘要：

     The federal funds rate negatively predicts excess equity market returns because of its dependence on inflation and unemployment. The novel findings lend compelling support to recent monetary asset pricing models and unequivocally validate Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s view: Our policy actions work through financial conditions. And those, in turn, affect economic activity, the labor market, and inflation. Formal variable selection analyses identify monetary policy as a crucial equity premium determinant together with the two most prominent asset pricing state variables, market price multiples and variance. The selected model has stable predictive power and outperforms popular statistical models, including machine learning.
