Abstract: We develop and justify methodology to consistently test for long-horizon return predictability based on realized variance. To accomplish this, we propose a parametric transaction-level model for the continuous-time log price process based on a pure jump point process. The model determines the returns and realized variance at any level of aggregation with properties shown to be consistent with the stylized facts in the empirical finance literature. Under our model, the long-memory parameter propagates unchanged from the transaction-level drift to the calendar-time returns and the realized variance, leading endogenously to a balanced predictive regression equation. We propose an asymptotic framework using power-law aggregation in the predictive regression. Within this framework, we propose a hypothesis test for long horizon return predictability which is asymptotically correctly sized and consistent.
