We use a standard consumption-based asset pricing model incorporating conditioning information to explain the risk-return profile of currency carry trade portfolios. We use a scaled stochastic discount factor instead of scaled or managed portfolio returns as in previous work. Our conditioning...

This paper proposes and analyses an hybrid of Owen.s (1988, 1990, 1991) Empirical Likelihood (EL) and bootstrap, EL-bootstrap, as an alternative to the General Method of Moments (GMM) within dynamic panel data models. We concentrate on the .nite-sample size properties of their...
