Consider the following regression Pt * - Pt = .07(1.4) + .4*Pt (3.6) + et where Pt * is Shiller’s ex post price of a stock, Pt is the actual price and t-ratios are in brackets. Explain in words and analytically what the dependent variable Pt * - Pt should be equal to under the efficient markets theory. Hence interpret the regression. Does it support the efficient markets theory?
