Abstract

Using data for the US stock market covering the sample period from 2008:06 to 2020:12, we study the incremental predictive value of employee sentiment for the realized volatility of stock returns. In doing so, we control for four different measures of investor sentiment and various macroeconomic and financial factors an uncertainties. We report results for several combination of forecast horizons and estimation windows and find that employee sentiment contributes to forecast accuracy for several of combinations.
