Sunspots and predictable asset returns

Edouard Challe

Post-Print from HAL

Abstract: This paper uses a stylised asset-pricing model to show that sunspots may cause asset returns to be predictable, a widely documented feature of many speculative markets. This result parallels and extends previous works showing that sunspots render asset prices excessively volatile.
