英文摘要:
Using non-linear machine learning methods and a proper backtest procedure, we critically examine the claim that Google Trends can predict future price returns. We first review the many potential biases that may influence backtests with this kind of data positively, the choice of keywords being by far the greatest culprit. We then argue that the real question is whether such data contain more predictability than price returns themselves: our backtest yields a performance of about 17bps per week which only weakly depends on the kind of data on which predictors are based, i.e. either past price returns or Google Trends data, or both.

中文摘要:
使用非线性机器学习方法和适当的回溯测试程序,我们批判性地检验了谷歌趋势可以预测未来价格回报的说法。我们首先回顾了许多可能会对此类数据的回溯测试产生积极影响的潜在偏差,到目前为止,关键词的选择是最大的罪魁祸首。然后,我们认为真正的问题是,这些数据是否比价格回报本身更具可预测性:我们的回溯测试每周产生约17个基点的表现,这仅弱地取决于预测因素所基于的数据类型,即过去的价格回报或谷歌趋势数据,或两者兼而有之。
