1 Appendix A. Online Appendix In this appendix, we present supplementary results for our methodology in which we allow loadings of characteristics on factors to vary over time. That is, we replace equation (5) with period-by-period regressions, ˆβ p,t β t = δ t + δ t (X p,t x t ) + v p,t. The advantage to this approach is that it uses only information available at time t to estimate the relation between risk exposures and characteristics. As a result, portfolios formed on implied risk exposures do not use forward-looking information. However, this comes at the cost of time-varying relations between characteristics and risk exposures, which is difficult to reconcile with theoretical models. 1

2 Table Appendix A.1: Relation Between Portfolio Betas and Characteristics Table?? presents results of regressions of portfolio betas on characteristics, ( ˆβit β t ) = d t + d t ( Xit X t ) + vit, where ˆβ it is the portfolio exposure to cumulative consumption risk estimated using data from time through time t and X it is a vector of portfolio characteristics at time t. The characteristics are those used to form portfolios; asset growth (AG), book-to-market ratio (BM), market value (MV), past month return (P), stock issuance (SI), and total accruals (TA). The table reports mean estimates d t and t-statistics calculated as in [? ]. Data are sampled at the quarterly frequency over the period September, 1953 through December,.

3 Table Appendix A.: Implied Firm-Level Betas Table?? depicts summary statistics for portfolios sorted on betas predicted by portfolio-level regressions of betas on characteristics. Each month t, using data available to month t, we regress cross-sectionally demeaned estimated exposures of 55 portfolios sorted on asset growth, book-tomarket ratio, market value, past month return, stock issuance, and total accruals onto their cross-sectionally de-meaned characteristics for the month. We utilize the portfolio level regression coefficients to construct firm-level betas, and repeat the procedure each month from September, 193 through November,. We then form portfolios on quintiles of calculated betas for monthly holding periods. Panel A presents means, ex ante betas, and ex post betas for value-weighted portfolios formed on quintiles of calculated risk exposure. The ex post betas are estimated via the regression 3 3 R p,t j = a p + β η,p η t j + e p,t. j= In Panel B we report means, ex ante betas, and ex post betas for equally-weighted portfolios formed on quintiles of calculated risk exposures. Data cover the period June, 19 through December. Mean returns are nominal and calculated using monthly returns; risk exposures are calculated using quarterly returns and deflated to real using the PCE deflator from the BEA. j= Panel A: Value-Weighted Portfolios Quintile Mean Ex ante β η Ex post β η Panel B: Equally-Weighted Portfolios Quintile Mean Ex ante β η Ex post β η

4 Table Appendix A.3: Implied Firm-Level Market Betas Table?? depicts summary statistics for portfolios sorted on betas predicted by portfolio-level regressions of market betas on characteristics. Each month t, using data available to month t, we regress cross-sectionally demeaned estimated exposures of 55 portfolios sorted on asset growth, book-tomarket ratio, market value, past month return, stock issuance, and total accruals onto their cross-sectionally de-meaned characteristics for the month. We utilize the portfolio level regression coefficients to construct firm-level betas, and repeat the procedure each month from September, 193 through November,. We then form portfolios on quintiles of calculated betas for monthly holding periods. Panel A presents means, ex ante betas, and ex post betas for value-weighted portfolios formed on quintiles of calculated risk exposure. The ex post betas are estimated via the regression R p,t = a p + β m,p R m,t + e p,t, where R m,t is the excess return on the value-weighted market portfolio. In Panel B we report means, ex ante betas, and ex post betas for equally-weighted portfolios formed on quintiles of calculated risk exposures. Data cover the period June, 19 through December.

11 Figure Appendix A.1: Loadings of Betas on Characteristics Figure?? depicts the loadings of cross-sectionally demeaned estimated betas on cross-sectionally demeaned characteristics over time. Betas are estimated by regressing cumulative returns over four quarters on cumulated consumption growth over four quarters using an expanding window starting with the time period September, 1953 through June, 193. We depict the mean beta over time in subfigure (a). Time series of loadings are depicted for (b) asset growth, (c) book-to-market ratio, (d) market value, (e) past -month return, (f) stock issuance, and (g) total accruals. NBER recessions are depicted as grey bars. Coefficients are smoothed over the past months by averaging.

13 Figure Appendix A.: Time Series of ex ante Betas Figure?? presents the time series of ex ante betas for portfolios of firms formed on the basis of these betas. Portfolios are formed by first calculating betas using firm-level characteristics and coefficients from regressions of portfolio-level betas on portfolio-level characteristics. Each month, firms are sorted into quintiles on the basis of the calculated beta and held in a portfolio for the subsequent month. The figure presents the time series of betas for the bottom and top quintile equally-weighted portfolios over the period June, 19 through December,. 13

14 Figure Appendix A.3: Price of Consumption Risk Figure?? presents the time series of the price of consumption risk implied by cross-sectional regressions of average returns onto consumption betas, R i,t R f,t = γ t + γ η,t β i,η,t + u i,t. Consumption betas are calculated by regressing cumulative real returns on cumulative growth in real per capita consumption of nondurables and services, 3 3 R i,t j = a i + β i,η ˆη t j + e i,t. j= Prices of risk, γ η,t and risk exposures, β i,η,t are estimated using expanding window regressions, beginning with a window from September, 1953 through July, 193, and culminating with a window from September, 1953 through December,. We utilize 55 portfolios formed on asset growth, book-to-market ratio, market capitalization, past -month return, stock issuance, and total accruals. j=

15 Figure Appendix A.: Industry Risk Premia Figure?? presents the time series of ex ante risk premia for portfolios of firms formed on the basis of GICS industry groups. Risk premia are calculated by first calculating betas using firm-level characteristics and coefficients from regressions of portfolio-level betas on portfolio-level characteristics. The resulting betas are multiplied by annualized prices of consumption risk from expanding window regressions. Each month, firms are sorted into quintiles on the basis of GICS industry group from Compustat. The figure presents the time series of betas for six equally-weighted portfolios over the period June, 19 through December, (a) Energy (b) Autos (c) Consumer Durables (d) Food, Beverage, and Tobacco (e) Banks (f) Semiconductors 15

16 Figure Appendix A.5: Dow 3 Risk Premia Figure?? plots time series of risk premia for select constituents of the Dow Jones Industrial Average as of December,. Ex ante betas are calculated by imputing betas from firm characteristics and portfolio-level coefficients of regressions of portfolio betas on portfolio characteristics. The characteristics utilized are asset growth, book-to-market ratio, market capitalization, past -month return, stock issuance, and total accruals. Risk premia are calculated by multiplying the firm s beta by the point estimate of the price of consumption risk implied by expanding window regressions of portfolio average returns on portfolio betas. Betas are plotted in blue on the left y-axis scale; risk premia are plotted in red on the right y-axis scale. Data are plotted for Bank of America Corporation (BAC), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), United Health Group (UNH), Exxon-Mobil (XOM), Microsoft (MSFT), and Caterpillar (CAT).
