Book Description
This paper challenges the conventional view that foreign exchange risk premiums are small, not volatile, and unrelated to macroeconomic variables. For the Italian lira (1987-94), unconditional risk premiums—constructed using survey data to measure exchange rate expectations—are found to be sizable (relative to the dimension of the forward premium), highly volatile (relative to the variability of the forward bias), and predictable. Estimation of structural models of the risk premium suggests that anticipated fiscal contractions in Italy and lower uncertainty about the future path of fiscal policy are associated with a lower risk premium on lira-denominated assets.

Book Description
Exchange rates arrangements aim at reducing uncertainty attached to currency fluctuations hence a reduction in systematic risks. This paper analyzes the behaviour of risk premiums in major equity markets, following the introduction of the euro. Using a multifactor asset pricing model, we find exchange rate risk premium in the largest eurozone markets (Germany and France) rose sharply after 1999, unlike in the quot;smallerquot; markets (Italy and the Netherlands). Market risk premium declined in the eurozone markets except Germany. It appears the euro resulted in systematic risk reduction in the smaller eurozone markets at the expense of their larger partners. This challenges an important rationale for the euro.

Book Description
We investigate the drivers of dynamics of major U.S. FX bilaterals. We first construct a novel measure of FX risk premiums using Consensus exchange rate forecasts. We then use VAR analysis to show that (i) risk premium shocks play a key role in driving dynamics of the major U.S. FX bilaterals; (ii) longer-term interest differentials also matter, especially for the Canadian $ and the Euro; (iii) oil price shocks play a particularly important role for the Canadian $ (an oil exporter); and (iv) risk appetite shocks (e.g., VIX shocks) generally lead to U.S. dollar appreciation. The importance of risk premium and longer-term interest differential shocks fit well with a simple theoretical model and are supported by recent event studies.

Book Description
Large fundamental imbalances persist in the global economy, with potential exchange rate implications. This paper assesses whether exchange rate risk is priced across G-7 stock markets. Given the multitude of hedging instruments available, theory suggests that stock market investors should not be compensated for currency risk. However, data covering 33 industry portfolios across seven major stock markets suggest that not only is exchange rate risk priced in many markets, but that it is time-varying and sensitive to currency-specific shocks. With stock market investors typically exhibiting "home bias," this suggests that investors are using equity asset proxies to hedge the exchange rate risks to consumption.

Book Description
This article studies the impact of imperfect consumption risk sharing across countries on the formation of time-varying risk premiums in the foreign exchange market and on their cross-sectional differences. These issues are addressed within the framework of the Constantinides and Duffie (1996) model applied to a multi-country world. The paper shows that the cross-country variance of consumption growth rates is counter-cyclical and that this feature of consumption data is mildly helpful for currency pricing. While the new model does not fully account for the forward premium anomaly, it is able to generate currency risk premiums at relatively low values of risk aversion and provide certain explanatory power for cross-sectional differences in currency returns.

Book Description
Currency Risk Premiums: A Multi-Horizon Perspective reviews the literature on multi-horizon currency risk premiums. It shows how the multi-horizon implications arise from the classic present-value relationship. The authors further show how these implications manifest themselves in the interaction between bond and currency risk premiums. This link is strengthened by explicitly accounting for stochastic discount factors. Information about currency risk premiums at different horizons presents a wealth of new evidence and challenges for existing models.
