We employ an unrestricted cointegrating VAR to test the dynamic implications of three competing explanations for the negative stock return-inflation relationship. We also provide test results which make use of recent advances in testing for Granger-causality due to Toda and Phillips (1994). One implication is that Granger-causality testing using the newly recommended procedures results in a different interpretation of the links between, for example, monetary policy and stock returns. We also find that Geske and Roll's (1983) theory is the only one that is not rejected by our sample of quarterly data from 1960 to 1992, although our results are not entirely inconsistent with Fama's (1981, 1990) proxy hypothesis. Only Benderly and Zwick's (1985) hypothesis is clearly rejected by the data. Our results also provide stylized facts about the dynamic linkages among key macroeconomic variables.
