dc.description | We investigate the possibility that dividends and earnings per share contain enough information to explain the time-varying risk premium in foreign exchange markets. | en_US |
dc.description | In the context of a model of foreign exchange determination, we show using GMM estimation, that dividend based stochastic discount factors are a better measure of households' intertemporal marginal rate of substitution than consumption based discount factors. An earnings based discount factor performs better than both dividend and consumption based discount factors. | en_US |
dc.description | We also use the calibration methodology to investigate the quantitative implications of the model based on US-Canadian data. While the earnings model increases the volatility of the risk premium relative to the consumption model, it does not account for the volatility and persistence in the data. | en_US |
