Note(s): The table reports descriptive statistics for the state variable vector in equations (3) and (4). The state variable vector includes CRSP equity excess return (excessR), real rate of interest (realR), treasury-bill rate changes (, dividend–price ratio (dp), term spread between the ten-year and one-month treasury yields (termS), and relative bill rate (r.bill). The seventh state variable is the MP indicator variable, to which we apply three variables in turns: change in the effective FFR (eFFR), change in the shadow rate of Wu and Xia (2016, SRWX) and change in the shadow rate of Krippner (2013, SRKR)
