We investigate the role of currency risk on stock markets in two interlinked Nordic countries exhibiting a gradual move from fixed to floating exchange rates. We apply the Ding and Engle (2001) covariance stationary specification in a multivariate GARCH-M setup to test a conditional...

In this paper we investigate whether global, local and currency risks are priced in the Finnish stock market using conditional international asset pricing models. We take the view of a US investor. The estimation is conducted using a modified version of the multivariate GARCH framework of De...

This paper tests the positivity and counter-cyclicality of the reward to market risk (risk aversion). Earlier empirical support has been at best inconclusive. We apply the reverse testing approach of Antell and Vaihekoski (2019) to the conditional ICAPM. Using various GARCH models for the...

Traditional tests of conditional asset pricing models are performed under the assumption of rational expectations and presume that the use of realized returns as a proxy for expected returns is acceptable. This paper turns the tables and asks what realized returns we would observe, given the...
