Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Predicting Stock Returns
David G McMillan · 2018
71/100
👍 Worth It
David McMillan delivers focused, rigorous econometric work on equity return predictability — integrating stock-bond relationships in ways that serve quantitative finance researchers well. The Palgrave Pivot format keeps it tight but constrains some topics from receiving the full treatment they warrant. For academic finance researchers and quantitative practitioners, this is solid specialist contribution; for general investors hoping for market insight, the methodology will be an immediate wall.
