Instructions

Write a short report (not more than 5 pages, double-spaced) to include the following:

Use stock market data to examine the stock market performance during Republican and Democratic presidencies. Report the raw as well as the risk-adjusted performance of the stock market during the Republican and Democratic presidencies. Also, compute the risk measures to determine whether risk differences can explain the differences in the performance.
Provide a brief discussion of your empirical findings.
Please explain the pattern you observe and provide some conjectures for why these patterns exist. It would be useful if you can provide evidence (even anecdotal) to support your arguments. Also, please explain whether you think the results you find are economically meaningful and why.
Are there certain types of firms or industries that are more likely to be sensitive to political cycles? Why? Would the returns of those firms be higher or lower during a Democratic presidency? Please provide evidence (even anecdotal) to support your conjectures.
Can investors take advantage of the opportunity that you have identified? Why or why not?
