Abstract

This study constructs a Chinese lottery index (LI) based on six popular lottery preference variables by using the partial least squares method and examines the relationship between the LI and future stock market returns during the period from January 2000 to December 2021. We find that the LI can negatively predict stock market excess returns in-sample and out-of-sample. In addition, the LI can generate a large economic gain for a mean–variance investor. Finally, the predictive sources of the LI stem from a cash flow channel and can be explained by the positive volume–volatility relationship and investor attention.

用彩票指数预测股市收益：来自中国的证据

本研究采用偏最小二乘法，基于六个流行的彩票偏好变量构建了中国彩票指数（LI），并研究了 2000 年 1 月至 2021 年 12 月期间中国彩票指数与未来股市收益率之间的关系。我们发现，中国彩票可以负向预测样本内和样本外的股市超额收益。此外，LI 还能为均值方差投资者带来巨大的经济收益。最后，LI 的预测来源于现金流渠道，并可通过正向的交易量-波动率关系和投资者关注度来解释。
