Notes: The table reports estimates from predictive regressions of growth in US coincident economic activity index on term spread and its components with dummy variables of US EPU. All variable definitions are identical to those in Table 3, except for D_U_{_}_E. D_U_{_}_E is the dummy variable for high uncertainty periods. Horizon indicates predictive months of growth in coincident economic activity index. Panels A and B report the results of term spread and its components, respectively. Newey and West (1987) corrected t-statistics are reported in parentheses. *, ** and *** represent significance at the 10, 5 and 1% levels, respectively
