             popular currency speculation strategies: the carry trade and

             that speculators are being compensated for bearing risk. The
             second is that these strategies are vulnerable to rare
             disasters or peso problems. The third is that there is price
             pressure in currency markets. © 2011 by Annual Reviews. All

   Abstract = {We study the properties of the carry trade, a currency
             speculation strategy in which an investor borrows
             low-interest-rate currencies and lends high-interest-rate
             currencies. This strategy generates payoffs that are on
             average large and uncorrelated with traditional risk
             factors. We argue that these payoffs reflect a peso problem.
             The underlying peso event features high values of the
             stochastic discount factor rather than very large negative
             payoffs. © 2010 The Author Published by Oxford University

   Title = {Exchange Rate Determination, Risk Sharing and the Asset

   Journal = {Economic Research Initiatives at Duke (ERID)},
   Number = {139},
   Pages = {49 pages},
   Year = {2012},
   Month = {December},
   Abstract = {Recent research in international finance has equated changes
             in real exchange rates with differences between the marginal
             utility growths of representative agents in different
             economies. The asset market view of exchange rates,
             encapsulated in this equation, has been used to gain
             insights into exchange rate determination, foreign exchange
             risk premia, and international risk sharing. We argue that,
             in fact, this equation is of limited usefulness. By itself,
             the asset market view does not identify the economic
             mechanism that determines the exchange rate. It only holds
             under complete markets, and even then, it does not generally
             allow us to identify the marginal utility growths of
             distinct agents. Moreover, if we allow for incomplete asset
             markets, measures of agents' marginal utility growths, and
             international risk sharing, cannot be based on asset market
             and exchange rate data alone. Instead, we argue that in
             order to explain how exchange rates are determined, it is
             necessary to make specific assumptions about preferences,
             goods market frictions, the assets agents can trade, and the
             nature of endowments or production.},

             access},
   Abstract = {When excess returns are used to estimate linear stochastic
             discount factor (SDF) models, researchers often adopt a
             normalization of the SDF that sets its mean to 1, or one
             that sets its intercept to 1. These normalizations are often
             treated as equivalent, but they are subtly different both in
             population, and in finite samples. Standard asymptotic
             inference relies on rank conditions that differ across the
             two normalizations, and which can fail to differing degrees.
             I first establish that failure of the rank conditions is a
             genuine concern for many well-known SDF models in the
             literature. I also describe how failure of the rank
             conditions can affect inference, both in population and in
             finite samples. I propose using tests of the rank conditions
             not only as a diagnostic device, but also for model
             reduction. I show that this model reduction procedure has
             desirable properties in a Monte-Carlo experiment with a
             calibrated model.},

             puzzle},
   Journal = {Review of Economic Studies},

   Abstract = {We offer an explanation for the forward premium puzzle in
             foreign exchange markets based upon investor overconfidence.
             In the model, overconfident individuals overreact to their
             information about future inflation, which causes greater
             overshooting in the forward rate than in the spot rate.
             Thus, when agents observe a signal of higher future
             inflation, the consequent rise in the forward premium
             predicts a subsequent downward correction of the spot rate.
             The model can explain the magnitude of the forward premium
             bias and several other stylized facts related to the joint
             behaviour of forward and spot exchange rates. Our approach
             is also consistent with the availability of profitable carry
             trade strategies. © The Author 2011. Published by Oxford

   Abstract = {Lustig and Verdelhan (2007) argue that the excess returns to
             borrowing US dollars and lending in foreign currency
             "compensate US investors for taking on more US consumption
             growth risk," yet the stochastic discount factor
             corresponding to their benchmark model is approximately
             uncorrelated with the returns they study. Hence, one cannot
             reject the null hypothesis that their model explains none of
             the cross sectional variation of the expected returns. Given
             this finding, and other evidence, I argue that the forward

   Abstract = {Some booms in housing prices are followed by busts. Others
             are not. It is generally difficult to find observable
             fundamentals that are useful for predicting whether a boom
             will turn into a bust or not. We develop a model consistent
             with these observations. Agents have heterogeneous
             expectations about long-run fundamentals but change their
             views because of “social dynamics.” Agents with tighter
             priors are more likely to convert others to their beliefs.
             Boom-bust episodes typically occur when skeptical agents
             happen to be correct. The booms that are not followed by
             busts typically occur when optimistic agents happen to be
             correct.},
