Modelling risk premiums in equity and foreign exchange markets / by René Garcia and Maral Kichian.FB3-2/100-9E-PDF

In this paper, we evaluate excess asset returns in equity and foreign exchange markets by combining generalized preferences to a heteroscedastic driving process. We do so by extending the international asset-pricing model of Bekaert, Hodrick, and Marshall (1997) who assume disappointment-aversion-type preferences and a homoscedastic exogenous environment. We show that our very general framework is quite successful in generating predictability and moment levels of excess returns that are consistent with the sample data.--Introduction
