AbstractIn this paper I relate the risk premia in the stock and bond markets to the conditional volatility of returns and time‐varying reward‐to‐volatility variables. I find that the relation between the expected returns on the stocks and bonds and the volatility of returns is time varying. I provide an approach for evaluating the relative importance of the time‐varying volatility of returns and reward‐to‐volatility variables to explain the predictability of risk premia for stock and bond returns. I show that changing reward‐to‐volatility variables explain more predictable variation in the risk premia for stocks and bonds than changing volatility of returns.
