Risk-Premia, Carry-Trade Dynamics, and Speculative Efficiency of Currency Markets

Foreign exchange market efficiency is commonly investigated by Fama-regression tests of uncovered interest parity (UIP). In this paper, we conjecture a speculative UIP relationship which implies that exchange rate changes comprise a time-varying risk component in addition to the forward premium. This suggests that the forward premium anomaly reported in previous research potentially stems from ...

This Online Appendix describes additional empirical and theoretical results on foreign bond returns in U.S. dollars. Section A reports additional results on portfolios of countries sorted by the short-term interest rates. Section B reports similar results for portfolios of countries sorted by the slope of the yield curves. Section C reports additional results obtained with zero-coupon bonds. Se...

Option-Implied Currency Risk Premia

We use cross-sectional information on the prices of G10 currency options to calibrate a non-Gaussian model of pricing kernel dynamics and construct estimates of conditional currency risk premia. We find that the mean historical returns to short dollar and carry factors (HMLFX ) are statistically indistinguishable from their option-implied counterparts, which are free from peso problems. Skewnes...

Generalized Risk Premia – the Economic Value of Predictability

Using a new measure for predictability combining economic and statistical criteria I find that in the S&P 500 market neither stochastic volatility, nor valuationbased information are advantageous over a homoscedastic return model. The testing framework is based on a benchmark trading strategy with optimal Sharpe ratio. The strategy’s expected excess returns naturally accommodate compensation fo...
