Note: The table reports estimates from predictive regressions of growth in Korean and US stock market returns on term spread and its components with top 25% dummy variables of Korean and US EPUs, respectively. All variable definitions are identical to those in Table 3, except for DQK_E and DQU_E. DQK_E(DQU_E) is the dummy variable for Korean (US) top 25% high uncertainty periods. Horizon indicates predictive months of stock market returns. Panels A and B report the results of Korean and US stock markets, respectively. Newey and West (1987) corrected t-statistics are reported in parentheses. *, ** and *** represent significance at the 10, 5 and 1% levels, respectively
