We review the literature on multi-horizon currency risk premiums. We show how the multi-horizon implications arise from the classic present-value relationship. We further show how these implications manifest themselves in the interaction between bond and currency risk premiums. This link is...

We describe a novel currency investment strategy, the `dollar carry trade,' which delivers large excess returns, uncorrelated with the returns on well-known carry trade strategies. Using a no-arbitrage model of exchange rates we show that these excess returns compensate U.S. investors for taking...

This paper extends Kremens and Martin (2019) and uncovers a novel component for exchange rate predictability based on the price difference between sovereign credit default swaps denominated in different currencies. This new forecasting variable – the credit-implied risk premium – captures...

We find that an option-based equity tail risk factor is priced in the cross section of currency returns. Currencies highly exposed to this factor offer a low risk premium because they hedge against equity tail risk. In a reduced-form model, we show that a long-short portfolio that buys...

We test a two-beta currency pricing model that features betas with risk-premium news and real-rate news of the currency market. Unconditionally, beta with currency market risk-premium news is "bad" because of a significantly positive price of risk of 2.52% per year; beta with global real-rate...

This paper proposes a new risk factor based on a multi-country's trading imbalance network to explain foreign exchange rate fluctuations and currency risk premia associated with a currency carry trade strategy. We build a directed in-degree trading network of global countries linked by their...

This paper investigates the importance of commodity prices for the returns of currency carry trade portfolios. We adopt a recently developed empirical factor model to capture commodity commonalities and heterogeneity. Agricultural material and metal price risk factors are found to have...

Uncovered interest rate parity, together with long-run relative purchase power parity, implies that the real exchange rate has predictive power for real bond return differentials. We show this implication to be at odds with the data. Hence, we provide new (indirect) evidence of time-varying...

We provide new empirical evidence that world currency and U.S. stock variance risk premiums have nonredundant and significant predictive power for the appreciation rates of twenty-two currencies with respect to the U.S. dollar, especially at the four-month and one-month horizons, respectively....

We investigate the pricing of volatility risks in currency markets. First, we show that pricing ability of volatility risk is concentrated in some of its components. Diffusive volatility dominates jump volatility in pricing carry trade returns, while jump volatility is important in jointly...
