Does the Value Spread Predict International Stock Returns?

초록

영어

This paper conducts an extensive empirical study on the predictive ability of the value spread based on a sample of 42 MSCI countries. Methodologically, we extend Liu and Zhang's (2008) analysis in an international framework, and nd consistent results that the value spread has little predictive ability on stock returns, while the two components (the book-to-market spread, and the market-to-book spread) predict stock returns with signi cant yet opposite signs. Compared with the book-to-market spread and the value spread, the market- to-book spread demonstrates particularly stronger predictive power not only for country-speci c returns, but also for returns of regional and industrial port- folios.
