Our article comprehensively reexamines the performance of variables that have been suggested
by the academic literature to be good predictors of the equity premium. We find that by …

This paper takes a new look at the predictability of stock market returns with risk measures.
We find a significant positive relation between average stock variance (largely idiosyncratic) …

I review the state of empirical asset pricing devoted to understanding cross-sectional differences
in average rates of return. Both methodologies and empirical evidence are surveyed. …

Our paper suggests a simple, recursive residuals (out-of-sample) graphical approach to

in social networks. The studies in this area assume they have as input to their problems a …

Kempe et al. [4] (KKT) showed the problem of influence maximization is NP-hard and a simple
greedy algorithm guarantees the best possible approximation factor in PTIME. However, it …

In-plane-aligned, c axis-oriented YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 (YBCO) films with superconducting critical
current densities J c as high as 700,000 amperes per square centimeter at 77 kelvin have …
