Abstract
We show, in a broad class of affine general equilibrium models with long-run risk, that the covariances between asset returns are linear functions of risk factors. We use a dynamic conditional correlation model to measure the covariances of stock and sovereign bond markets in the Euro Area. We use a new approach to measure risk factors based on Google search data. The factors explain 50 to 60 percent of the variation of the covariances between European stocks and 25 to 35 percent of the covariances between European bonds. The information improves the portfolio performance compared to an equally weighted portfolio
