Abstract

Cointegration between aggregate US R&D investment and Total Factor Productivity (TFP) provides an R&D intensity measure that allows to study the aggregate R&D risk-reward frontier. This measure proves being a relevant state variable to financial markets, showing forecasting power with respect to the US market excess return and the equity term premium.
