Abstract
We study the economic sources of stock-bond return comovement and its time variation using a dynamic factor model. We identify the economic factors employing structural and non-structural vector autoregressive models for economic state variables such as interest rates, (expected) inflation, output growth and dividend payouts. We also view risk aversion, and uncertainty about inflation and output as additional potential factors. Even the best-fitting economic factor model fits the dynamics of stock-bond return correlations poorly. Alternative factors, such as liquidity proxies, help explain the residual correlations not explained by the economic models.

Asset Pricing and FOMC Press Conferences

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that excess stock returns are strongly and positively related to their betas on announcement days with a PC and that the cross-sectional dispersion in betas declines substantially on PC days when measured using both daily and intraday return data.

The impact of the US stock market opening on price discovery of government bond futures

TL;DR: The authors examine price discovery in sequential markets for the 10-year US Treasury note, German bund, and UK gilt futures over the period 2010-2017 and find that price discovery increases after the opening of the US stock market.

The Real Explanation of Nominal Bond-Stock Puzzles

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present evidence that the mix of transitory and permanent shocks to consumption is changing over time, and they study the implications of this finding for asset prices, showing that the uncovered dynamics of consumption implies modestly upward sloping real bond and equity curves, upward slope nominal yield curve, and sign-switching correlation between equities and bonds consistent with the stylized facts.

A Heteroskedasticity-Consistent Covariance Matrix Estimator and a Direct Test for Heteroskedasticity

Halbert White
- 01 May 1980 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a parameter covariance matrix estimator which is consistent even when the disturbances of a linear regression model are heteroskedastic is presented, which does not depend on a formal model of the structure of the heteroSkewedness.

A New Approach to the Economic Analysis of Nonstationary Time Series and the Business Cycle.

James D. Hamilton
- 01 Mar 1989 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the parameters of an autoregression are viewed as the outcome of a discrete-state Markov process, and an algorithm for drawing such probabilistic inference in the form of a nonlinear iterative filter is presented.

Dynamic Conditional Correlation: A Simple Class of Multivariate Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity Models

TL;DR: In this article, a new class of multivariate models called dynamic conditional correlation models is proposed, which have the flexibility of univariate generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) models coupled with parsimonious parametric models for the correlations.
