The Risky Capital of Emerging Markets∗

چکیده
Emerging markets exhibit (1) high expected returns to capital and (2) large exposures to movements in US returns, measured by the ‘beta’ of the returns to the asset on the returns to its US counterpart. We document these facts in detail for two asset classes stock market returns and the return to aggregate capital and we provide further evidence from a third class sovereign bonds. We use a series of endowment economies to explore whether consumption-based risk faced by a US investor can reconcile these findings. We find that long-run risk, i.e., risk due to fluctuations in economic growth rates, is a promising channel our calibrated model implies return disparities at least 55% as large as those in the data. From the perspective of the US investor, fact (2), although not a sufficient statistic, is informative about the extent of long-run risk in foreign assets, and so about fact (1).

We take the perspective of a US investor and outline an empirical strategy to identify risky growth shocks and quantify their implica...

متن کاملOn the Optimal Inflation Rate
How do financial frictions affect the optimal inflation rate? Can financial frictions alone annul the long-run super-neutrality of money? Should the inflation rate be higher in emerging market economies with less developed financial markets than in advanced economies, as is currently observed? To answer these questions we set up an incomplete markets model in which households choose portfolios ...
