What determines the composition of international portfolio investments remains an open question in international finance. In this paper, I propose a theory of international portfolio choice where trade networks play a key role. I solve in closed form for the optimal equity and bond portfolio...

I adapt the framework of Sauzet (2021) to an international setting to characterize the global solution to the international portfolio problem in full generality, a long-standing open issue in international finance. In this two-country, two-good environment, investors have recursive preferences...

I characterize the global solution to the portfolio problem of two heterogeneous investors with general preferences, in a two-tree, two-good environment. Investors have recursive preferences and a bias in consumption towards a preferred good. The framework highlights the role of the allocation...

It is widely observed that primary commodity prices comove. A parallel literature asserts that correlation risk matters for financial returns. Our novel study connects these topics and presents evidence that commodity correlation risk is both non-constant and important for returns. We reconsider...

We develop a simple measure of international ownership linkages and show that this measure is of similar importance as the traditional effects coming from country and industry fundamentals. International ownership linkages are not explained by omitted country/industry variations, wealth effects...

We show how a stock return model can be described by measures of distance between stocks along the country, industry, and ownership dimensions. This ownership return dimension is shown to be a continuous summary measure of institutional investor habitat. Empirically, we find that the ownership...
