Therefore, no predictability is probably due to the unbalance of the stationarity of two sides in the regression model. This paper proposes to use the first and the second lagged predictors as the regressors. When the regressor has a unit root, the first differenced series can serve as the potential predictor; when the regressor is stationary, our model still works as the conventional predictive regression. Empirically, we reexamine the popular predictors in the literature, and find quite different results.
