Higher long-run economic uncertainty predicts higher future long-run excess market returns. Over a 10-year horizon, the joint use of long-run uncertainty and the dividend-to-price ratio leads to a predictive R2 around 80%, half of which is imputable to long-run uncertainty. This return predictability can only be reconciled with the ability of long-run uncertainty to predict future real dividend growth (with a positive sign), future real short-term rates (with a negative sign), or both. We show that higher long-run uncertainty forecasts lower inflation rates and, largely through this channel, higher real dividend growth.
