Effects of macroeconomic uncertainty on the stock and bond markets

Asgharian, Hossein LU ; Christiansen, Charlotte and Hou, Ai Jun (2015) In Finance Research Letters 13. p.10-16
Abstract
In this paper we show that the long-run stock and bond volatility and the long-run stock-bond correlation depend on macroeconomic uncertainty. We use the mixed data sampling (MIDAS) econometric approach. The findings are in accordance with the flight-to-quality phenomenon when macroeconomic uncertainty is high. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc.
