Научный семинар МИЭФ и ЛФЭ, Pasquale Della Corte (Imperial College London)

В пятницу, 26 февраля в 14.00 в ауд. 3211 (ул. Шаболовка 26, корпус 3) пройдет научный семинар Международного института экономики и финансов и Международной лаборатории финансовой экономики по финансам.
Докладчик: Pasquale Della Corte (Imperial College London)
Тема доклада: "Macro Uncertainty and Currency Premia" co-authored with Aleksejs Krecetovs

Тезисы доклада: This paper studies empirically the relation between macro uncertainty shocks and the cross-section of currency excess returns. We measure uncertainty over macro variables such as current account, inflation rate, short-term interest rate, real economic growth and foreign exchange rate using the cross-sectional dispersion of market participants' expectations from two international surveys of economic forecasts. We find evidence that investment currencies deliver low returns whereas funding currencies offer a hedge when current account uncertainty is unexpectedly high. In contrast, uncertainty over other macro indicators displays no significant relation with the cross-section of currency excess returns. Our results are consistent with a recent theory of exchange rate determination based on capital flows in imperfect financial markets.

Приглашаются все желающие.
