 ## Macroeconomic Predictors
 
-Our next data source is a set of macroeconomic variables often used as predictors for the equity premium. @Goyal2008 comprehensively reexamine the performance of variables suggested by the academic literature to be good predictors of the equity premium. The authors host the data updated to 2022 on [Amit Goyal's website.](https://sites.google.com/view/agoyal145) Since the data is an XLSX-file stored on a public Google drive location, we need additional packages to access the data directly from our R session. Therefore, we load `readxl` to read the XLSX-file [@readxl] and `googledrive` for the Google drive connection [@googledrive].\index{Data!Macro predictors}

-The `drive_download()` function from the `googledrive` package allows us to download the data and store it locally.
+We use the basic `download.file()` function to download the XLSX-file.^[Note that the `mode = "wb"` argument is used to ensure that the file is written in binary mode, which is important for non-text files like XLSX.]
