  1. Table 4 reports both estimation and robust estimation results of the final predictive regression models determined by the BIC over the period January 1st, 2019 to June 30th, 2020
  2. aOutlier robust statistics are obtained using iteratively reweighted lease squares with a bi-square weighting function
  3. bThe Newey-West statistics are used as the heteroskedasticity and serial correlation robust statistics, where the lag calculated as \(4*{(\frac{N}{100})}^{2/9}\) is introduced to correct for serial correlation. Standard errors are provided in the parentheses
  4. ** and *** indicate significance at the 5% and 1% levels, respectively
