内容简介:

Major political events, such as elections and State of the Union (SOTU) address in the U.S., reveal government policy agenda for an upcoming political cycle. Similar to macroeconomic and monetary policy announcements, stock market returns soar to 50 bp on Election and 30 bp on SOTU days, relative to 3 bp daily average. Political announcement returns increase in adverse times of low economic growth and high aggregate volatility, and exhibit pre-announcement drift. We develop an illustrative model for political announcements that incorporates channels of early resolution of uncertainty and optimal choice of government policy to account for the novel evidence.
