For monthly predictors like MaxRet, should we apply a one-month lag to forecast returns?
For predictors based on Compustat Annual data, are these variables already lagged? For example, is gross profitability (GP) from July of year t to June of year t+1 measured using the prior fiscal year ending in t-1?
