Detail:
This paper develops a revealed preference theory for the equity premium around
macroeconomic announcements. Stock returns realized around pre-scheduled macroeconomic
announcements, such as the employment report and the FOMC statements, account for
55% of the market equity premium. We provide a characterization theorem for the set
of intertemporal preferences that generates a non-negative announcement premium. Our
theory establishes that the announcement premium identifies a significant deviation from
time-separable expected utility and provides asset-market-based evidence for a large class of
non-expected utility models. We also provide conditions under which asset prices may rise
prior to some macroeconomic announcements and exhibit a pre-announcement drift.
