Evidence from several tests offers little support for belief that economic policy uncertainty as measured by the EPU Index is useful for U.S. stock market timing. - Stock Index Earnings-returns Lead-lag
Available evidence suggests that the relationship between stock index earnings and index return is very noisy and may not be exploitable. - Stock Market Performance Perspectives
