Market timing with aggregate and idiosyncratic stock volatilities
No full textGuo and Savickas [2005] show that aggregate stock market volatility and average idiosyncratic stock volatility jointly forecast stock returns. In this paper, we quantify the economic significance of their results from the perspective of a portfolio manager. That is, we evaluate the performance, e.g., the Sharpe ratio and Jensen's alpha, of a mean-variance manager who tries to time the market based on those two variables. We find that, over the period 1968-2004, the associated market-timing strategy outperforms the buy-and-hold strategy, and the difference is statistically and economically significant.Stock exchanges

Psychology of the Scientist: XLVIII. Recent Trends in Multiple Authorship in Psychology
No full text Research in the late 1950s showed a trend toward increased multiple authorship, as opposed to single authorship, of research papers in psychology.

Results indicated that the trend towards more multiple-author papers has continued, with 70% of the convention papers and 76% of the journal articles having more than one author. </jats:p
