This paper presents a model of international asset pricing in the presence of shadow costs of incomplete information. The model shows that the exchange rate risk is priced in an international setting. The home bias equity is explained by the shadow costs of incomplete information. These costs...

This paper, which is motivated by the literature on international asset pricing and recent work on exchange rate determination, investigates dynamic relationshiops between major currency and equity markets. Using a multivariate GARCH framework, we examine conditional cross-autocorrelations...

Studies have claimed that the “idiosyncratic volatility puzzle” in the firm-level data can be explained by certain time-series properties of the firm-specific shocks. The absence of this puzzle in the country-level index data implies that the time-series properties of the country-specific...

We study how investor behavior affects the transmission of financial crises. If investors exhibit decreasing relative risk aversion, then negative wealth shocks increase the risk premium required to hold risky assets. We integrate this into a second generation model of currency crises which...

We examine the pricing of tail risk in international stock markets. We find that the tail risk of different countries is highly integrated. Introducing a new World Fear index, we find that local and global aggregate market returns are mainly driven by global tail risk rather than local tail...

In this paper we investigate whether the currency risk is priced in international stock markets. We suggest a parsimonious version of the international capital asset pricing model with an EGARCH-M(1,1) specification of the second moments' dynamics of stock and currency returns, assuming that the...

The international asset pricing models are mostly developed in the case of parity failure (investors of di?erent countries do not agree on the expected returns on securities). In this case, an equilibrium in the international asset markets may exist, but not in the international good markets. In...
